Computational Methods and Simulations of Functional Materials
The course offers an introduction and thorough deepening in computational methods in Materials Physics and Technology. The course will analyze the available computational methods at the atomic scale, at the mesoscopic level as well as at the macroscopic scale. We will first analyze the calculations of first principles-ab initio (Hartree (H), Hartree Fock (HF), Density functional […]
