Hybrid mode: lectures are held in physical presence or via online streaming (lectures in physical presence can be streamed simultaneously, upon special request by students).
**** EDIT: 22/10/2020
*** Starting from Tuesday 27th of October 2020, lectures will be held exclusively online.Physical participation in the kick-off lecture is required: if you are unable to participate, please contact the lecturer in advance.
In case of any issue with the registration, feel free to contact the lecturer.The course is structured in two parts.
In the first part, lectures consist of brief theoretical introduction to physical properties and computational techniques, followed by hands-on sessions; during these practical sessions, students try to solve weekly assignments in groups (typically pairs).
In the second part of the course, students work on final projects on a topic of their preference (chosen in agreement with dedicated supervisors).Simulations are performed in the density-functional theory framework, by using the Vienna ab initio software package (VASP).
Fundamental physical properties, such as the electronic band structure and density of states, effective forces acting on ions, vibrational frequencies, mechanical properties, thermodynamic properties, as well as magnetic properties are discussed and calculated.
Upon request, during the final project, students may also write programs in selected areas of computational science (Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, Schrödinger equation solvers, Machine Learning).Pre-requirements:
A laptop or desktop computer with internet connection is highly recommended.
Preliminary knowledge of Quantum Mechanics and Solid State Physics, and familiarity with Linux-shell scripting are beneficial but not required: basic concepts on these topics will be discussed during the theoretical sessions, and the main commands and scripts will be provided in the initial lectures.
