Jindrich Kolorenc, PhD.

Research activities

• calculations of physical properties of solids derived from their electronic structure – in layman's terms: solution of quantum-mechanical equations for a large number of electrons moving in a periodic environment of a crystal lattice (or in a not so periodic environment of crystals with defects)
• study of real compounds and materials as well as their simplified models
• manifestations and consequences of strong electron-electron correlations, magnetism
• theoretical modeling and interpretation of x-ray spectroscopies
• lanthanide (cerium, europium,…) and actinide (uranium, plutonium,…) compounds
• dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), exact diagonalization of many-body models using the Lanczos method

Teaching

• occasional course on Correlations in Many-Electron Systems (Charles University, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics) – supplementary information for the class
