Computational Materials Physics Bootcamp

Course Topics File:She ishe.jpg The bootcamp, scheduled for one week during Summer or Winter semesters on the campus of the Universit of Delaware, offers basic training and hands-on experience (via the Computer Lab sessions in 305 Pearson Hall) for graduate students in sciences (physics, chemistry, applied mathematics) and engineering (electrical, chemical, materials) to learn how to use open source of home-grown packages for computation of band structure (electronic, magnonic, phononic) of materials in equilibrium or simulate their properties out of equilibrium. The scientific software considered for the first route include DFT, GW and DMFT; while for the second route we employ TDDFT, quantum transport and classical micromagnetics or atomistic spin dynamics codes.

News Summer 2024 bootcamp takes place from 08/19-23, starting at 9:00AM on Monday 08/19 in 305 Pearson Hall. Lecture in Progress Hands-on coverage of OpenMX, VASP, Q-Chem and GW+DMFT packages.

Formalism should not be introduced for its own sake, but only when it is needed for some particular problem.
