The 2014 CAMD Summer School on Electronic Structure Theory and Materials Design
- co-sponsored by Psi-k & Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation
Vision:
The school brought together around 80 young researchers (predominantly early PhD-students), and taught them the basic knowledge necessary for carrying out electronic structure simulations on materials with an integrated hands-on tutorial.
The summer school was a combination of lectures given by experts in the field and a tutorial with exercises on the methodology covered in the lectures and exercises giving hands-on-experience with the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) and the GPAW electronic structure code.
Subjects covered in lectures were related to:
- The fundamentals of Density Functional Theory
- Strategies for solving the Kohn-Sham equations
- Projector Augmented Wave Implementation
- Exchange-correlation functionals
- Error estimation in Density Functional Theory
- Time-dependent DFT
- Many-body approaches to the electronic structure problem
- Quantum electron transport theory
- Thermodynamic properties and kinetics from DFT
- Energy Materials
- Chemistry at surfaces/Heterogeneous Catalysis
- Electrochemistry
- Materials Informatics
