Keywords: Theoretical condensed-matter physics
Dr. Sarker is engaged in theoretical research into the problem of highly correlated electron systems, such as the high-temperature cuprate superconductors, fullerenes, heavyfermion systems, and rare-earth-transitionmetal- oxides.
Professor Sarker is particularly interested in the breakdown of Fermi liquid theory, and the occurrence of commensurate and incommensurate magnetic order and associated metal insulator transitions in many strongly correlated materials.
