Dr. Maria de las Mercedes Calbi | |
Southern Illinois University College of Science Physics Assistant Professor | |
QualificationsPh.D., University of Buenos Aires, Physics, 1999. Expertise and Research InterestsResearch Interests:
- Gases adsorbed on and inside carbon nanotube bundles: Novel phases of matter, adsorption and thermodynamical properties, diffusion behavior, quantum effects, phase transitions
- Bose-Einstein condensation in low dimensional systems: Condensates in optical lattices
- Forces between nanosized particles: Van der Waals forces between atomic clusters, size and many-body effects; aggregation phenomena in fluids
My theoretical approaches are based on statistical and quantum mechanical methods and include density functional techniques for liquid helium and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Whenever possible, an effort is made to formulate simple models in order to identify the key features of the problem and provide a general understanding of the investigated phenomena.
