Within the group, Yuriy performs ab initio simulations of structural and electronic properties of CaO(CaMnO3)m n-type thermoelectric compounds within the framework of the Density Functional Theory. The results of calculations help to understand the charge transfer mechanism in thermoelectric compounds as well as to guide the experiments to help design new compounds with the desired properties.
