商品描述

This thesis demonstrates the value of theoretical approaches in the discovery of new superconducting materials. It reports a detailed study of the recently discovered nickel-oxide (nickelate) superconductors using multiple first-principles computational tools, from density functional theory to dynamical mean field theory. In the context of superconductivity, discoveries have generally been linked to serendipitous experimental discovery; this thesis reports some of the few examples of predictions of new superconductors that have later been realized in practice, a prime example of the significance of the methodology it expounds. Overall, it represents a seminal systematic work in the electronic structure theory of the emergent field of nickelate superconductivity.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本論文展示了理論方法在新超導材料發現中的價值。它報告了對最近發現的鎳氧化物(鎳酸鹽)超導體的詳細研究,使用了多種第一性原理計算工具,從密度泛函理論到動態平均場理論。在超導性方面,發現通常與偶然的實驗發現相關;本論文報告了一些少數預測新超導體的例子,這些預測後來在實踐中得以實現,充分展示了其所闡述方法論的重要性。總體而言,它代表了在新興的鎳酸鹽超導性電子結構理論領域中的一項開創性系統性工作。

作者簡介

Harrison LaBollita is a computational condensed matter physicist whose research focuses on the electronic structure of strongly correlated materials. He obtained his PhD in Physics at Arizona State University under the supervision of Prof. Antia S. Botana, where he focused on superconductivity in nickel-oxides (nickelates). Harrison will continue researching strongly correlated materials as a postdoctoral fellow at the Flatiron Institute, a division of the Simons Foundation, in the fall of 2024.
