Summer school on Materials Modeling from first principles: theory and practice, ICMR, University of California at Santa Barbara, July 19-31, 2009.
The school covers basic concepts and recent advances and developments. The former include ground-state calculations for isolated molecules and extended systems, pseudopotential theory and plane-wave basis sets, forces, stresses, and geometry and reaction-path optimizations, linear-response theory and phonons, and ab-initio molecular dynamics. Advanced techniques include first-principles vibrational (IR, Raman) and magnetic (EPR, NMR) spectroscopies, electron-phonon and phonon-phonon interactions, excited states (TDDFT and GW), DFT+U and non-collinear magnetism, Wannier functions and quantum transport.[ordering]manual[endordering][collection_order]["68a25dc3e4b021481f6e30e0","68a25d3ee4b021481f6e3024","68a25c0de4b021481f6e2e6a","68a25b79e4b021481f6e2d92","68a25a6ce4b021481f6e2bcf","68a25a05e4b021481f6e2a47","68a25970e4b021481f6e29d7","68a258e8e4b021481f6e28b9","68a257a9e4b021481f6e27fa","68a25703e4b021481f6e277d","68a256c6e4b021481f6e275c","68a2566be4b021481f6e26fd"][endcollection_order]
