Diana Csontosová works at the Department of Condensed Matter Physics, and her PhD studies deal with the theoretical study of electronic structure and excitations in materials. She focuses mainly on systems where electron correlations play an important role due to Coulomb interaction. In her work, she uses advanced numerical methods adapted to the specifics of the individual systems studied.
The Czech Physical Society (JČMF) announces the Milan Odehnal Prize competition every two years. This competition is open to young physicists from Czech institutions or graduates of Czech universities under thirty.
Diana Csontosová entered the competition with three scientific papers published in prestigious scientific journals. Using dynamic alternating field theory, she investigated magnetic excitations in SrRu2O6 in one of these papers. Another work focused on the magneto-optical properties of exciton complexes in GaAs-based quantum dots. This study was followed by a third work, which investigated the response of electron states to magnetic fields in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots.
