SYNOPSIS
Supports
theoretical and complementary computational research in the topical
areas represented in DMR programs, including condensed matter
physics, polymers, solid-state chemistry, metals, electronic
materials, and ceramics. Materials Theory is the primary source of
funding at NSF for condensed matter theory. The program supports
fundamental research that advances conceptual, analytical, and
computational techniques for materials research. A broad spectrum
of research is supported using electronic structure methods,
many-body theory, statistical mechanics, and Monte Carlo and
molecular dynamics simulations, along with other techniques, many
involving advanced scientific computing. Emphasis is on approaches
that begin at the smallest appropriate length scale, such as
electronic, atomic, molecular, nano-, micro-, and mesoscale,
required to yield fundamental insight into material properties,
processes, and behavior and to reveal new materials phenomena.
Areas of recent interest include strongly correlated electron
systems; low-dimensional systems; nonequilibrium phenomena,
including pattern formation, microstructural evolution, and
fracture; high-temperature superconductivity; nanostructured
materials and mesoscale phenomena; quantum coherence and its
control; and soft condensed matter, including systems of biological
interest.
