Using DFT to design new materials; From magnetoelectrics to a theory of everything.

Using Density Functional Theory to Design New Materials; From Magnetoelectronics to a Theory of Everything.
(A Colloquium that I gave at EMPA, Dubendorf, Switzerland, on 12th April 2011)
Abstract: Modern computational methods are proving to be invaluable in the first-principles design of new materials with specific targeted functionalities. I will illustrate their utility with two examples from the field of multiferroics: First, the design of new materials for electric-field control of magnetism, and second, testing extensions to the Standard Model by searching for the electric dipole moment of the electron.

The crux of creating an ultraviolet giant photogalvanic effect is a negative refractive indexed meta material, Bismuth. This reaction will split water for Hydrogen + Oxygen for energy production.

One of the finest presentations I have ever seen. Always an inspiration Ma'am :)

awesome. Niobium might work, it's rich in neutrons, which makes it great for adding to magnet materials.

very interesting!

This is mindblowing. Thanks. Please, what tools did you use to create those beautiful crystal unit cells on the page 29:34s?
