Learning outcomes
State of the art numerical methods for the simulations of structural and electronic properties of materials.
Objectives
Understand and use numerical methods to evaluate the structural and electronic properties of material
Content
State os the art numerical methods for the evaluation of structural and electronic properties of matérials : semi-empirical methods (tight-binding) and Density Functional Theroy.
Co-requisites
Méthodes numériques pour la physique [SPHYM123]Teaching methods
Individual lectures with frequent meeting with the teacher for the theoretical basics. A large part is devoted to the practical use of numerical methods.
Evaluations
Presentation of the results of the numerical simulation performed by the students in a written report.
