About HTMSAMST-2023
The discovery of new materials highly impacts technological development. Computational tools play an important role in such findings. One of the most reliable computational tools is density functional theory (DFT). The aim of this workshop is to cover
- The basic concepts of DFT.
- Apart from the consideration of standard tasks implemented in most ab-initio codes, such as how to calculate the electronic (band) structure, perform structure (geometry) relaxation, calculate lattice vibrations, or run molecular dynamics simulations, the specific topics to be covered include the generation and use of pseudopotentials, the construction of basis sets of strictly localized numerical atomic orbitals, and basic notions about the efficient computation of the matrix elements with linear scaling methods and the role the real-space grid.
- Quantum Espresso and SIESTA are open-source software based on DFT.
- TansSiesta is used to study the transport properties of materials. Xcrysden and P4VASP are visualization software.
- The workshop will give an insight into the working principles of Quantum Espresso, SIESTA, and TranSiesta.
Workshop Topics
- Basics of Linux programming.
- Installation & Hands on session on P4VASP, Xcrysden.
- Basics of density functional theory.
- Installation & Hands-on session on Quantum Espresso.
- Installation & Hands-on session on Siesta and TranSiesta.
- Generations of pseudopotentials: vdW, HSE.
- Structural, Electronic, Phonon, Transport properties.
- Optical and different executables for plotting.
- Interactive sessions: Panel discussions.
