My current research interests
are listed above with no order of importance. In a word, my present curiosities
are catched by the physics of metal and alloys (as most of my career),
and in particular by those systems that can be studied by means of the
Multiple Scattering Theory (KKR and KKR-CPA) within the Density Functional
framework.
Currently I can carry on calculations for the subjects of the list, by means of computer codes whose story has begun in 1971, by the work of G.M. Stocks (ORNL, TN, USA). The present version of KKR-CPA code, suitable for any Bravais lattice, is the result of years of work, particularly regarding the Brillouin Zone integration method (see E. Bruno and B.Ginatempo, Phys. Rev. B 55, 12946 (1997)) , entirely developed at home (in collaboration with E. Bruno). This method sets an adaptive grid and allows BZ integrals precise up to an input tolerance. Such a feature has allowed accurate calculations of Fermi surfaces, susceptibilities, magneto-crystalline anisotropy, etc. This code needs to be generalised to the full-potential case, as yet.
