About the course
The aim of the course is for students to develop an understanding of theories and modelling techniques used to simulate material properties and underlying phenomena using quantum mechanical principles.
This course is offered as part of programme:
Course content
The course focuses on quantum mechanical Density Functional Theory (DFT) and its predictive capability and limitations. Specifically:
- Hohenberg–Kohn theorems
- Kohn–Sham equations
- Exchange and correlation functionals
- Electronic structure of solids and surfaces
- Finite-temperature phenomena
Entry requirements
- MT650E Materials Physics and Engineering, 15 credits
- FY610E Quantum mechanics, 5 credits
Course literature
Current literature list is available in the syllabus for the course
Course evaluation
Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
