Students will learn the followings in this course,
(1) Basics of the quantum theory of many electrons in matter
(2) Matter-light interaction
(3) Density functional theory (DFT)
(4) Usage of DFT computation softwares.
This course is in accordance with diploma policy #2.
Material properties that benefit us in everyday lives mostly originate from the microscopic behavior of the internal electrons.
Their simulation on computers thus will lead us to the better understanding of how these properties emerge and also the possible prediction of yet undiscovered superior materials.
In this course we shall learn the theory of electronic states of matter and know how to use DFT computation softwares for your own needs. We will also learn to simulate the behavior of matter under optical excitation.
You will be graded by your exercise performances (50%) and lab reports (50%).
Comments are appropriately provided for feedback.
