Welcome!

Dr. Jan Minár joins CeNS as a new member

 

PD Dr. Jan Minar carries out research on theoretical solid state physics. His research interests are focused on the theoretical description of the electronic and magnetic structure of ordered and disordered solids, surfaces and nanostructures, based on density functional theory, as well as on various spectroscopical properties of solid materials. He is one of the developers of the Munich SPR-KKR electronic structure package, especially what concerns electronic correlations (within dynamical mean field theory) of surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures. Recently methodological developments in the field of X-ray absorption and spin- and angle-resolved pump-probe photoemission lead to various collaborations with several experimental groups. After completing his studies in physical chemistry at the Technical University of Bratislava (Slovakia), he worked with Prof. H. Ebert and completed his PhD thesis at LMU Munich in 2003, which was devoted to the spin-orbit coupling influenced electron spectroscopies. After a postdoctoral stay at the Forschungszentrum Jülich he moved back to LMU, where 2008 he started with the habilitation. 2012 his habilitation thesis has been awarded by the Römerstiftung of the LMU. Since 2014 he is a visiting professor at the West-Bohemian University in Pilsen. 2015 he received a guest professorship in physics at the University of Cergy-Pontoise, Paris.
