Abstract

This request is for continued storage for the theoretical physics environment at LiU, which continues our previous allocation "Storage for theoretical physics environment at LiU" SNIC 2019/35-64, which was itself a continuation of SNIC 2014/5-59 for NSC center storage under "/proj/theophys". The allocation will serve at least the compute projects LiU-2020/1-33 (continuation of SNIC 2019/1-11), LiU-2020/1-19 (continuations of SNIC 2019/2-9), and LiU-2019-26 if these continuations/extensions are granted. For more scientific details of what projects the storage will be used for, please refer to those proposals. The continuations, if granted, are set to begin 2020-07-01. We understand if the final decision on the present storage project has to wait until the status of those allocations have been decided. The environment of the Theoretical Physics Division at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM), Linköping University includes all our Ph.D. students, senior members, and some collaborators, which makes around 50 researchers pursuing computation in connection to various SNIC grants connected to this division. We have consistently over many years produced high-quality scientific publications citing SNIC resources, including Nature Materials, Nature Communications, and Physical Review Letters. Our grants pertain to a wide range of research in materials science, materials design, functional materials, etc. We employ a wide range of methods, e.g., electronic structure simulations, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations, phonon calculations, etc. The Theoretical Physics division leader, Igor Abrikosov, is well recognized in Sweden and internationally. He has more than 300 papers with more than 10000 citations and h-index 54. In 2007, he was awarded Göran Gustafsson Prize in Physics, perhaps the most prestigious national scientific prize in Sweden. In 2016 Igor Abrikosov was elected as a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (KVA, class Physics).
