DESCRIPTION:Título: "Electronic and optical properties of semiconducting 
 materials: A first-principles approach"\n\nAbstract: "The study of crystal
 line semiconductors remains a cornerstone of modern materials science\, dr
 iven by the demand for novel optoelectronic devices and emerging quantum t
 echnologies. To model these materials accurately\, researchers rely on ab 
 initio (first-principles) calculations. By solving the Many-Body Schrödin
 ger equation using only fundamental physical constants and atomic structur
 es (without empirical fitting parameters) this approach provides a predict
 ive\, unbiased description of material properties that can be directly val
 idated by experiments.\n\nIn this seminar\, I will provide a pedagogical o
 verview of the state-of-the-art theoretical frameworks used to determine t
 he electronic and optical properties of semiconductors. We will discuss th
 e transition from ground-state properties via Density Functional Theory (D
 FT) to quasiparticle excitations using the GW approximation\, and finally\
 , the description of excitonic effects through the Bethe-Salpeter Equation
  (BSE). Furthermore\, we will touch upon non-equilibrium optical propertie
 s by exploring the equation of motion for the density matrix. By bridging 
 theoretical foundations with real-world results\, this seminar aims to dem
 onstrate the powerful capability of first-principles methods to predict th
 e behavior of semiconducting materials."\n \n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/
