Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Computational studies on Nanoscale Crystalline, Amorphous and Hybride materials at different length scales, starting from 'first principles' up to large- scale semi - empirical simulations, in the aim of understanding the electronic origin of the structural and mechanical properties, and targeting in the design of materials’ with predefined properties suitable for new technological applications.
Assessment and permitted materials
The course will be assessed by an oral exam on the two overview seminars given by Prof. Lekka (one on DFT -, one on MD simulation methods & applications) and corresponding scientific discussions, both on computational methods including applications. Attention: The positive assessment of the seminar requires the positive assessment of the lecture series 260099.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The minimum requirements for a successful attendance is a basic knowledge of solid state physics or of materials physics
Examination topics
The examination topics of this course comprise the contents of the two overview seminars and scientific discussions mentioned above.
