The goal of this project is the development of an ab initio method to calculate material-specific spin- wave spectra in magnetic solids. As collective modes that carry spin but no charge, spin waves are the agents of magnetisation dynamics and play a crucial role in the design of magnetic storage devices with fast read and write cycles. Due to their collective nature, spin-wave excitations cannot be described within a single-particle picture. The project hence combines density-functional theory with Green-function techniques from many-body perturbation theory to include dynamic exchange-correlation effects in the transverse spin susceptibility, which can be directly related to experimental measurements. The implementation uses the full- potential augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) method. Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in physics or a related subject, a background in ab initio electronic-structure methods and good computational skills. There are no nationality or age restrictions. The position is available for two years starting on 1 October 2005, with the actual starting date open to negotiation, and is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) through the Priority Programm 1145 "Modern and universal first-principles methods for many-electron systems in chemistry and physics". An extension is possible. Applications and further informal inquiries should be addressed to Dr. Arno Schindlmayr Institut für Festkörperforschung Forschungszentrum Jülich 52425 Jülich Germany E-Mail: A.Schindlmayr-at-fz-juelich.de Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications and a statement of relevant academic experience. Electronic applications are welcome, and reference letters will be given proper consideration. Applications are accepted until the position is filled.
