Welcome to the web page of QMM group !

We are a computational condensed matter theory group in the Physics department of IIT Bombay.

Our goal is to understand, predict, and design materials exhibiting unique electronic, magnetic, magnetoelectric, and transport properties, with a focus on those influenced by quantum effects. To achieve this, we employ computational methods based on first-principles density functional theory, complemented by analytical and numerical approaches rooted in model Hamiltonians. Our research spans various material systems, encompassing two-dimensional structures, bulk three-dimensional materials, as well as heterostructures and interfaces.

Recent interest of our group involves:

  • Hidden charge and magnetic order

  • Non-relativistic spin splitting

  • Spin and orbital Hall transport

  • Magnetic Skyrmions

  • Magnetoelectric effect and multiferroics

  • Topological insulators and semimetals
