Project: Superconductivity of doped/intercalated carbon nanotubes and graphite Details: We are looking for a theoretical postdoc to study, with density-functional-theory, the structural, vibrational and electronic properties of graphite and carbon nanotubes, intercalated by donor/acceptor atom and/or molecules. We aim to improve the superconducting properties of intercalated graphite, and to obtain similar or better properties in intercalated carbon nanotube bundles. The superconductivity of Ca-intercalated graphite (CaC6) with a critical temperature of 11.5 K at room pressure and of 15.1 K under pressure was recently measured in our laboratory. These temperatures are the highest ever observed in this kind of systems. Our theoretical group explained the occurrence of superconductivity in CaC6. In addition we also published several papers on the vibrational properties and electron-phonon coupling of graphite, carbon nanotubes, and graphene (see list below). Required skills: The candidate must be familiar with quantum theory of solid state and with ab initio methods based on density functional theory. A strong motivation to direct interaction with the experimental groups is also necessary Some of our recent works on MgB2, graphite and NTs: PRL 90, 095506 (2003); PRL 93, 185503 (2004); PRL 95, 087003 (2005); PRL 97, 266407 (2006); PRL 97, 187401 (2006); PRL 98, 067002 (2007); Nature Materials 5, 198 (2007).
