This is a practical course in which we will calculate the electronic properties of materials – band structure, density of states, and build Fermi surfaces. For calculations, use the Quantum ESPRESSO program, one of the most powerful tools for quantum mechanical calculations using density functional theory.
This program is successfully used for calculations in materials science, biochemistry, for the creation of new drugs, solar panels, batteries and much more.
We invite students, graduate students, and researchers in the above areas.
- course dates: from May 22 to June 11;
teacher: Ph.D. Oleg Feya, Laboratory of Data Research and Machine Learning KAU, Department of Electronic - structure and Electronic Properties of the Institute of Metal Physics named after. G.V. Kurdyumova;
- language of instruction: English;
- teaching format: online lectures and practical classes on the portal www.eduportal.kau.edu.ua;
- difficulty: This is a basic course that aims to provide skills in quantum mechanical calculations. Prior knowledge of quantum physics at undergraduate and university level is preferred. If you took our previous course “Density functional theory for computational materials design” this will give you a better starting understanding of the material
