Salvador Barraza-Lopez Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Salvador Barraza-Lopez's research primarily investigates the theoretical and computational properties of materials, with a focus on two-dimensional (2D) materials and their electronic, optical, and mechanical behaviors.

His work has explored topics such as the optomechanics of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) bilayers under strain, the second-order optical susceptibility of bulk materials using symmetry-enforced methods, and the Berry dipole on strained graphene/hBN moiré trilayers. Barraza-Lopez has also studied thermally-driven phase transitions in low-buckled silicene, germanene, and stanene, as well as the elasticity and paraelectric phase transformations in 2D ferroelectrics.

Barraza-Lopez is a Principal Investigator on a $499,113 NSF grant for the development of a high-performance computing system for research and education at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. He has collaborated with researchers including Joseph E. Roll, Angiolo Huamán, Gustavo S. Orozco-Galvan, and Shiva Prasad Poudel, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
