Annotation -
The course is focused on the electronic structure calculations of solids using DFT methods and the analysis of the obtained results in order to model essential material characteristics (thermodynaic, mechanical, magnetic and electric transport properties) and chemical processes (sorption on surfaces, catalysis, diffusion). MedeA-VASP and Wien2k programs for quantum-mechanical calculations of solids as well as Phonon program for phonon spectra calculations are used for practical training.
