Emergent Materials Property Theory Group

Using and often developing theoretical techniques which enable us to probe into the "emergent" physical properties of many-body systems, our goal is to predict and explain as yet unknown quantum functions of materials having potentials for applications to future technologies.

Research Fields

  • Topological phases of matter and their quantum functions
  • Theoretical and Monte Carlo studies on low-dimensional quantum magnets
  • Realistic modeling of electronic and magnetic properties using first-principles electronic structure calculations
  • Magnetism of two-dimensional van der Waals materials
  • Microscopic theories of magnetoelectric coupling induced by complex magnetic order
  • Novel theoretical and numerical schemes to investigate classical and quantum phase transitions
