Scientific Programme:
       Effects of strong electron correlations in high-temperature superconductors, colossal magneto-resistance compounds (manganites), heavy-fermion systems, low-dimensional quantum magnets with strong spin-orbit interaction, topological insulators, etc. will be investigated based on a variety of underlying many-band electronic models including the extended Hubbard model, Anderson model, super-exchange spin-orbital models of transition of metal oxides with strong relativistic spin-orbital coupling. The electronic band structure, spectral properties of charge carrier quasiparticles, magnetic and charge collective excitations, metal-insulator and magnetic phase transitions, Cu- and Fe-based high-Tc superconductivity, charge and spin-orbital ordering will be studied. The obtained results will be used to support neutron scattering experiments performed at FLNP, JINR.
       Investigations in the field of nanostructures and nanoscaled phenomena will be addressed to a study of physical characteristics of nanomaterials promising for various applications in modern nanotechnologies. The electronic, thermal and transport properties of carbon nanostructures will be investigated. It is planned to study the problem of quantum transport in molecular devices. Spin dynamics of magnetic nanoclusters will be investigated. The analysis of resonance tunneling phenomena in the layered superconductors and superconducting nanostructures in the external fields will be performed. Numerical modeling of resonance, radiative and chaotic properties of intrinsic Josephson junctions in high temperature superconductors is planned to be carried out.
       Ìodels in condensed matter physics will be studied by using methods of equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics with the aim of revealing general properties of many-particle systems based on the ideas of self-similarity and universality. Mathematical mechanisms, underlying the kinetic and stationary behavior of model systems, as well as possible links between different models, will be investigated. The study of two-dimensional lattice models by the transfer matrix method will be focused on confirming the predictions of the logarithmic conformal field theory. The theory of integrable systems will be developed in the aspect of finding new integrable boundary conditions for two-dimensional spin systems and the solution of the corresponding Yang-Baxter equations. The universal behavior of correlation functions in non-equilibrium systems will be studied as well. The research in the structure theory and the theory of representations of quantum groups and matrix algebras will be directed to further applications in the theory of integrable models in quantum mechanics and statistical physics. Applications of the elliptic hypergeometric integrals, defining the most general solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and most complicated known exactly computable path integrals in four-dimensional quantum field theory, to two-dimensional spin systems will be studied.
