Ab initio methods for periodic systems (NBCM173)

This is a new lecture course for people who have some understanding of standard ab initio methods. I discuss some more advanced concepts, such as electron cusp and locality of density matrix and illustrate them using the model system of uniform electron gas. With that system, we naturally go through the issues related to using periodic boundary conditions, such as k-point sampling, plane-wave basis set or singularity of Coulomb interaction. Here is a directory which lists Jupyter notebooks used for exercises in GPAW.

Ab initio methods and density functional theory (NBCM122)

Lectures from ab initio methods are held by prof. Burda. I have lectures about DFT based on the Yang and Parr DFT book. For MSc and PhD students.
