The course is an optional part of the Graduate
School in Materials Science (also nfsm)
[Includes Materials Theory, 2p (FTF100) and 4p (FTF105),
thanks to the strong individualization within the course. See old homepage for comparison].
Teachers from the Materials and Surface Theory group, Applied
Physics, Chalmers/GU: Shiwu Gao, Per Hyldgaard, Bengt Lundqvist,
Mats Persson, Elsebeth Schröder, ...
Examiner and responsible for course: Bengt Lundqvist, Applied Physics
Aim: Introduction to practical use of
- modeling
- simulation
- theory
in the modern materials-research laboratory.
Literature
Lecture notes, copies of articles etc. will be distributed. It should be good to have a text book in the field available, like
- D. Pettifor, Bonding and structure of molecules and solids, Oxford (paperback);
- A. P. Sutton, Electronic structure of materials, Oxford (paperback);
- W. A. Harrison, Electronic structure and properties of solids, (1980);
- W. A. Harrison, Elementay electronic structures, (1999).
A book (that one has read) deserves its place on the bookshelf!
Schedule
The course is given in the third quarter (läsperiod 3) and starts on Monday January 19, at 10.00 a.m. in Delfinen, Soliden, 2nd floor.
