Nanophotonics Theory
Prof. Dr. Javier Garcia de Abajo
- Activities:
Our group is focused on the study of the optical response of nanostructured materials. We develop theory to explain and unveil new physical phenomena associated with the interaction of light with such materials. In particular, we investigate plasmons in nanoparticles and nanostructures, as well as the interaction of these plasmons with molecules. We provide theory to interpret and extend electron-microscope-based spectroscopy. We are also interested in exploring exotic quantum and classical phenomena involving the optical response of nanostructures, such as quantum vacuum friction, collective optical modes in graphene, and molecular plasmons.
- PhD Positions Available:
- PhD Positions in Atomically-Thin Metal Nanoplasmonics. Interested candidates should apply through ICFO’s PhD General Call and indicate interest in this particular Research Group/Group Leader.
- Position(s) Available:
- Post-doctoral Positions in Nonlocal Response and Electron-Beam Interactions with Photonic Systems
Expertise in many-body and condensed-matter theory, optical response at the nanoscale both from first-principles and based upon classical electromagnetism, interaction of fast-electrons/ions with nanostructures. Powerful computational tools for solving Maxwell’s equations (boundary-element method, multiple scattering, etc.), Schrödinger’s equation, and linear-response problems (e.g., RPA expansions for many different physical systems).
