The ISM Theory and Simulation Laboratory has acquired specific expertise in several fields of technological interest and materials-driven research. This involves application of the technical skills and know-how described in Simulation and Analysis to systems of interest to the Institute or to our many collaboration partners, or simply by facing new challenges in material science. Topics range from crystalline, amorphous and defected materials through to soft matter, nanostructures and molecular systems. These include, but are not limited to, dilute magnetic semiconductors; hydrogen-doped crystals; surfaces, organic and inorganic interfaces, 2D and layered materials; amorphous (hydr)oxides; photonic crystals of unidimensional isotropic/uniaxial lattices; and superconductors
