About Monte Carlo Group
The scientific research in our group is in the field of computational theoretical physics. We apply simulation techniques (Monte Carlo, Molecular Dynamics and Genetic Algorithm) and heavy quantum calculations (DFT and ab-initio) to study various properties of nano-scaled systems (atomic and molecular clusters; metal complexes; fullerens and nanotubes). Predictions of the possible output of newly designed experimental equipments are made as well.
