  • 2007 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For contributions to densityfunctional perturbation theory and its application to dielectric properties, and for leadership in opensource software development for the electronic structure community

Overview

Xavier Gonze is affiliated with the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. Their research primarily spans the fields of materials science and physics and astronomy, with a significant focus on materials chemistry and condensed matter physics. Their work also includes contributions to atomic and molecular physics and optics, electrical and electronic engineering, as well as electronic, optical, and magnetic materials.

The main topics in their research include high-pressure geophysics and materials, physics of superconductivity and magnetism, advanced chemical physics studies, machine learning in materials science, luminescence properties of advanced materials, superconductivity in MgB2 and alloys, and perovskite materials and applications.

Recent publications by Xavier Gonze illustrate their involvement in electronic structure and materials science research. Notable papers are:

  • ABINIT: Overview and focus on selected capabilities, 2020, The Journal of Chemical Physics
  • Electron-Phonon beyond Fröhlich: Dynamical Quadrupoles in Polar and Covalent Solids, 2020, Physical Review Letters
  • Phonon-limited electron mobility in Si, GaAs, and GaP with exact treatment of dynamical quadrupoles, 2020, Physical Review B
  • Roadmap on electronic structure codes in the exascale era, 2023, Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering
  • ChemEnv: a fast and robust coordination environment identification tool, 2020, Acta Crystallographica Section B Structural Science Crystal Engineering and Materials
