Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Computational studies on Nanoscale Crystalline, Amorphous and Hybride materials at different length scales, starting from 'first principles' up to large- scale semi - empirical simulations, in the aim of understanding the electronic origin of the structural and mechanical properties, and targeting in the design of materials’ with predefined properties suitable for new technological applications.

Assessment and permitted materials

Practical exercises using the VASP code.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The minimum requirement for a successful attendance is a basic knowledge of solid state / materials physics and computational methods.

Examination topics

The practical exercise examination will focus on the ability of the students to perform a computational study and investigate the structure and electronic properties of a chosen nanosized, crystalline or hybride material.
