Alexander Lichtenstein

Alexander I. Lichtenstein (born May 4, 1955 in Sverdlovsk ) is a German theoretical physicist and university professor from Russia . He is a professor at the University of Hamburg .

Career

Lichtenstein studied at the University of Yekaterinburg with a diploma in theoretical physics in 1977 and a doctorate in 1982 at AS Moskvin ( magnetic transition states and the theory of exchange interactions ). He then worked at the Institute for Solid State Chemistry in Yekaterinburg. From 1989 he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart and from 1995 at the Jülich Research Center . In 1998 he became professor for theoretical physics at Radboud University Nijmegen and since 2004 he has been professor in Hamburg.

He is particularly concerned with the calculation of the exchange interaction in magnetic materials using density functional theory . He also deals with ab initio band structure calculations of complex electronically correlated materials from compound of LDA (Local Density Approximation, local density approximation ) with DMFT (dynamical mean field theory). He developed analytical and numerical procedures for calculations on supercomputers.

Awards

In 1995 he received the Russian State Prize for Science and Technology. In 2008 he received the Intel RUSNANO Prize for High-Performance Computing in Nanotechnology, and in 2014 the Max Born Prize . In 2015 he received the Ernst Mach Medal of Honor from the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic .
