Course

Computational Solid State Physics (FYS630)

With these subjects the student will be able to understand the basis of solid state physics, such as

Solid state concepts; Phonons; Lattice and magnetic excitations in solids;

Force field methods; Hartree and Hartree-Fock theory; Density-Functional theory; Basis sets; Pseudopotentials; Molecular dynamics;

Functional properties of different types of materials;

Experimental methods for material characterization and how to simulate them numerically.;

The student will be able to apply these concepts on state of the art research topics.

Learning outcome

The students will get a solid understanding of the fundamentals of Solid State Physics and the knowledge and skills to perform computational modeling of simple systems. The course will give an overview over the various classes of traditional and exciting novel materials enabling the technological progress of tomorrow. The students will also get an overview over the state-of-the-art methods for materials' characterization. The course will give a necessary foundation for the advanced research on Master and PhD level in the field of Solid State Physics, Materials Physics, Applied and Computational Materials Science and/or Applied Physics.

Emneevaluering

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
