Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Bothina Hamad's research focuses on the theoretical investigation of materials properties using first-principles calculations. Her work explores the electronic, magnetic, and thermoelectric characteristics of various alloy systems, including quaternary Heusler alloys and transition metal dichalcogenides.

Hamad has published on Zr-based Heusler alloys for spintronic and thermoelectric applications, and on VTiRhZ (Z= Al, Ga, In, Si, Ge, Sn) quaternary Heusler alloys. Her research also examines the impact of finite-temperature and anharmonic lattice dynamics on the thermal conductivity of materials like ZrS₂ monolayers and 2D InTe monolayers. Additional studies investigate the electronic, magnetic, and thermoelectric properties of CrTiRhAl quaternary Heusler alloys and the effects of chalcogen doping on TiO₂ surfaces.

With an h-index of 20 and over 1,230 citations across 131 publications, Hamad has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including M. O. Manasreh, Eesha Andharia, and Mourad Benamara, on multiple shared publications. She maintains an active lab website.
