EDA TOOL TRAINING SERIES PART 1 : Electronic Property Calculation of Materials using Density Functional Theory (DFT) Simulation
Over the past two decades, owing to the robust development in computational material science, the density functional theory (DFT) based calculation has been emerged as an indispensable technique for modelling different materials and reliably tuning their electronic structure for catering the requirements for different technical application areas. The DFT simulation is typically drawing an ever growing interest from material science, solid state physics, quantum chemistry and electronic device communities.
To this date, a number of simulation packages as well as wide variety of pedagogical materials are available on the topic of DFT. The availability of these resources offers the flexibility of matching individual interest, background and specific requirements. However, at the same time, it often becomes confusing for beginners to approach the topic in a coherent manner. In this context, the demonstration is intended for individuals with little or no experience of DFT simulations but with a basic (undergraduate) knowledge of electronic materials. The demonstration will introduce open source DFT simulation package Quantum Espresso using BURAI graphical user interphase and its basic features for successfully calculating the electronic structure of different materials. The demonstration is expected to provide primary background and familiarization on performing DFT based material simulation and modelling as well as successful interpretation of the results in context of specific problems.
