Biography
Fabio Ricci did his PhD on both simulations and experimental measurements on magnetic properties of materials (diluted magnetic semiconductors and soft magnetic materials) by means of the magneto-optical Kerr effect. Subsequently, he worked on theoretical simulations on Fe-based superconductors, principally iron-chalcogenides. He developed and implemented in the ABINIT code the formalism for the non-collinear magnetism in the density functional perturbation theory and, at the same time, started to work on the theoretical engineering of thermoelectric properties of the Fe-based full-Heusler compounds.
