Peter Košovan's grant project was evaluated as excellent

The project “Simulation of reaction equilibria in polymer systems – method development and applications” from the MacroMolecularModeling (MaMoMo) research group, headed by Peter Košovan, was evaluated as excellent by the …

Electronic/Magnetic Properties of Quantum Materials

We investigate electronic structure, magnetism, and related quantum properties of materials, including spin and valley physics, topological states. In addition, we study functional properties relevant to energy and spintronics, such …

Ultrafast Dynamics in Unconventional Magnets

Unconventional magnetic phases, particularly altermagnets, have recently been recognized as a big breakthrough in 2024 (Science Magazine), opening a new frontier in condensed matter physics and materials science. Since the …

Photoinduced Carrier Dynamics in Energy Materials

Carrier relaxation and energy dissipation following photoexcitation govern ultrafast processes in energy materials such as photocatalysts and solar cells. Using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and ab initio non-adiabatic molecular …

Laser-Matter Interaction on Ultrafast Timescale

When quantum materials are driven far from equilibrium by intense laser excitation, their properties can be dramatically modified. A variety of intriguing non-equilibrium phenomena can emerge, including charge transfer, ultrafast …
