Computational Material Science

Here you can find my new presentation on Computational Material Science. In the first part I brifely present Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-depdent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) and then different applications.Then I show how these methods can be coupled with “high throughput computing”, “evolutionary algorithms” and “machine learning”. Here the presentation in Libreoffice format:… Read More

DFT and QuantumEspresso at CINaM

At CINaM together with Andres Saul and Hans-christian Weissker we are organizing a series of lectures on DFT and the Quantum Espresso code. The course will cover standard DFT, functionals, psedo-potentials, surfaces, STM images, structure optimization,  etc.. Teaching material and lecture notes can be downloaded here: DFT and Quantum Espresso 1 DFT and Quantum Espresso… Read More

Density Functional Polarization Theory

We present a new paper on Density Functional Polarization Theory (DFPT). This theory is an extension of Time-Dependent-DFT where the exchange correlation functional depends not only from the density but also from the polarization P. Thanks to this explicit dependence on P it is possible  solve different problems of TD-DFT in periodic systems with a… Read More

Quantum Espresso and Yambo input files

This is my small collection of Quantum Espresso (PWSCF) and Yambo input files that I used in my papers or for different testing purposes. I cannot give any warranty whatsoever these files are correct and fit your actual needs. Carbon nanotubes: 7×7, 4×2, 10×10, 1×10 Carbon nanoribbons: ANGR7 Diamond Donor Acceptor Complexes from ref. Appl. Phys. Lett…. Read More
