TRR 142 - Ab initio theory for photonic materials (B04)

In this project, we develop computational methods and perform calculations that aim at the parameter-free modeling of the photonic materials studied in the CRC with predictive accuracy. Particular attention is paid to the nonlinear optical response. The influence of electronic many-body effects, electron-phonon coupling and spin-orbit coupling is ...
