US-India Cooperative Research: Theoretical Studies on Magnetoresistive Oxides

描述：该材料研究奖授予美印合作研究：磁阻氧化物理论研究。密歇根州立大学的S.D.Mahanti教授和印度哈拉格普尔理工学院的印度合作者Arghya Taraffder将研究磁阻氧化物的电子结构。研究将集中在构建锰氧化物和双钙钛矿的现实模型系统。他们将把Hartree-Fock计算的结果与更容易处理的理论模型的结果联系起来。研究人员认识到Hartree-Fock和局域自旋密度近似在电子结构工作中的优势和局限性，并计划使用这两种方法来了解单独从这两种方法中可能无法学到的东西。这些结果有望在凝聚态物理中具有广泛的适用性。范围：氧化物材料在美国继续代表着一个蓬勃发展的研究领域。研究人员有着出色的记录，对该领域做出了许多重要贡献，他们的合作可能会带来广泛有趣的结果。与印度哈拉格普尔理工学院的联系非常好，两所学院的学生都将从科学家的交流中受益。该奖项是与印度政府科技部共同支持的。

0002745MahantiDescription: This award in materials research is for US-India Cooperative Research: Theoretical Studies on Magnetoresistive Oxides. Professor S.D. Mahanti of Michigan State University and Indian collaborator Arghya Taraphder of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur will study the electronic structure of magnetoresistive oxides.The research will focus on construction of realistic model systems for manganites and double perovskites. They will relate the results of Hartree-Fock calculations to those of more tractable theoretical models. The investigators recognize the strengths and limitations of Hartree-Fock and local spin density approximations in electronic structure work, and plan to use both to learn what might not be learned from either alone. The results are expected to have wide applicability in condensed matter physics. Scope: Oxide materials continue to represent a vigorous area of research in the U.S. The investigators have excellent track records, have made many important contributions to the field, and their collaboration is likely to lead to broadly interesting results. The connection with the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur is excellent and the students at both institutions will benefit from the exchange of scientists. This award is supported jointly with the Government of India's Department of Science and Technology.
