  Density functional theory in solid state physics (DFT-FP)

Lecturer
Dr. Roland Gillen

Details
Vorlesung mit Übung
Präsenz
3 cred.h, benoteter certificate, ECTS studies, ECTS credits: 5, Sprache Englisch
Time and place: Mon 16:00 - 18:00, SR 00.103

Fields of study
WF Ph-MA 1 (ECTS-Credits: 5)

Prerequisites / Organisational information
The lecture gives an introduction to density functional theory and related methods and to applications in solid state physics. This will be complemented by hands-on tutorials using the Quantum Espresso DFT code. A background in solid state physics will be useful.
Exercises/tutorials will be located at the StudOn course page: https://www.studon.fau.de/crs4061725.html .
