Main Focus

Theoretical and computational study of strongly correlated low dimensional systems is the main focus of our research group. We employ strongly interacting models to study molecules, conjugated polymers, dendrimers and low dimensional systems like chain, ladder and 2D lattices etc. We are also interested in ion-radicals and charge transfer organic salts and electronic properties of metal-organic and organic-organic interfaces. We are involved in developing and implementing numerical methods including DMRG methods, exact diagonalization methods, quantum Monte Carlo methods, Tensor Network and Matrix product state.

Recently, our group is also involved in the study of exotic properties of materials such as chiral, multipolar, bond-order wave phase, coupling of magnetism, electricity in multiferroics and transport & optical properties of the materials. Research activities can be categorised in the following subgroups -

Quantum Phase transition of strongly correlated models

Development of new algorithms for Density matrix Renormalization group method

Electronic properties of strongly correlated low dimensional materials

Non-Equillibrium processes in Condensed matter Physics
