Wymagania:
- Fulfillment of the recruitment conditions of the Doctoral School of Wrocław University of Science and Technology (Wrocław, Poland) https://szd.pwr.edu.pl/en/for-candidates
- The candidate must have completed university physics studies with a very good or excellent final degree and a master's thesis in condensed matter theory or a closely related discipline.
- Experience with models and analytical or numerical methods/theories such as basic quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, lattice models of interacting spins, fermions, or bosons, many-body quantum systems, and state-of-the-art diagonalization techniques.
- Knowledge of programming languages such as C++, Fortran, Python, Julia.
- Soft skills in the context of scientific writing and presentation, including knowledge of the typesetting language LaTeX
- The candidate has to be fluent in spoken and written English.
The successful PhD candidates will be part of the group created by Dr. Jacek Herbrych (https://jacekherbrych.github.io) within the project NCN SONATA BIS 13 2023/50/E/ST3/00033 entitled “Properties of low-dimensional quantum systems with charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom.” The project's scientific goal is to investigate novel phenomena in multi-orbital systems, i.e., systems with many local degrees of freedom (orbital, spin, and charge). A prominent example of the phenomena unique to the multi-orbital system is the so-called orbital-selective Mott phase (OSMP). Competing interactions can lead to the selective localization of electrons on some orbitals. Such insulating bands coexist with the metallic band (or bands) with itinerant electrons. The dispersion relation (the momentum dependence) of the latter is routinely measured using spectroscopic tools (e.g., single-particle spectral function measured by the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, dynamical spin structure factor measured by inelastic neutron scattering, or other tools like resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, or reflection/transmission measurements). However, due to the enormous Hilbert space of multi-orbital systems, theoretical analysis of their dynamical properties is largely lacking (especially momentum-resolved quantities). The main scientific aim of this proposal is to investigate properties (and discover novel exotic phases) of the models with many competing energy scales originating from spin, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom, i.e., to investigate multi-orbital Hubbard model, generalized Kondo-Heisenberg model, spin-orbital model, and effective models which describe the physics mentioned above (i.e., spin systems with RKKY-like interaction). The theoretical analysis of such idealized Hamiltonians will motivate crystal growers and provide experimentalists with theoretical guidance to discover new multi-orbital low-dimensional compounds that may exhibit highly unusual physics.
