Quantum transport and time-dependent dynamics of Dirac fermions (A07)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 314695032

The overarching goal is the comprehensive theoretical investigation of dynamical quantum phenomena arising from the interplay between radiation-driven effects, geometry, and transport in complex two-dimensional materials such as graphene, topological-insulator surfaces, and other homo- and heterostructures. Light-wave-driven charge carrier dynamics, as well as Dirac fermions in curved and patterned surfaces, will be considered. To this end, advanced numerical techniques for ultrafast dynamics and quantum transport will be used.
