CENT (Computational & Experimental NanoTechnology) Group led by Dr. Hasan Sahin conducts theoretical and experimental research to identify and understand the fundamental physical mechanisms underlying the surface, interface and transport behavior of crystals and molecular materials. For theoretical investigation of Electronic, Magnetic, Optical, Vibrational and Quantum Transport properties of structures we use state-of-the-art DFT approaches. Team members has a solid expertise on the softwares based on Density Functional Theory. Experimental studies carried out in the CENT group focus on the synthesis of two-dimensional graphenelike materials and their nanotechnology applications.
