Computational Materials Physics Bootcamp

Course Topics The bootcamp, scheduled for one week during Summer or Winter semesters on the campus of the University of Delaware, offers 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, mechanical, materials) on how to use open source and/or home-grown packages for computation of band structure (electronic, magnonic, phononic) of materials in equilibrium or their dynamics out of equilibrium. The scientific software considered for the first route can include DFT, GW, DMFT and QMC; while for the second route it can include 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. Topic 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.
