About

Computational Physics: DFT and atomistic simulations of materials, nanoparticles, molecules, and interfaces

  • Work package leader of the industry project "SIDI" on inoculation in cast iron (Research Council of Norway and Elkem ASA)
  • Work package leader of the FRIPRO project "Infinity-RETIS" on simulations of chemical rare events (Research Council of Norway)
  • Coordinator of the NTNU Digital Transformation project "Rational Alloy Design - AllDesign"
  • Coordinator of the H2020-NMP project "CritCat" on computational development of new catalyst materials (European Commission)
  • Work package leader of the KPN project "SumAl" on solute clustering in aluminum alloys (Research Council of Norway)

Our Materials Theory group performs massively-parallel simulations of materials and biomolecules at the atomistic scale using electronic structure calculations (DFT), classical molecular mechanics (MM) and Monte Carlo (MC) methods. Most recently, we have started work with machine learning concepts to enable rational design of materials which can provide an alternative theory-based approach for experimental trial-and-error methods. The general objective of our research is to study the detailed atomic structure of a system and its function. The problems involve current technological applications in the fields of materials science, chemistry,  and biochemistry. Characteristic for our application-oriented projects is the strong collaboration with experimental colleagues.

The main research topics are:

  • Replacement of Platinum Group Metal catalysts in heterogenous and electrochemical reactions (hydrogen energy, CO2 chemistry). 
  • Amorphous semiconductor materials in nonvolatile memory applications, especially chalcogenide alloys (DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, Blu-ray Disc, Phase-change RAM, Conductive-bridging RAM)
  • Glasses in general: Novel oxide-based materials, chalcogens, pnictides, etc.
  • Noble metal nanoparticles (Au, Ag, Pt, Pd) with various coatings and environments (surface, solution and biological environment)
  • Aluminum alloys and cast iron; clustering, precipitate formation, inoculation and hardening effects
  • QM/MM simulations of biochemical reactions (alginates).
