| MSCI 533 – COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS MODELING | |
| Credits: 3 | |
| Physico-chemical principles augmented by ever-advancing computation technology have become a tool for explaining rich materials properties, designeing nano-structures and their possible functionality. This course overviews basic quantum principles of materials sturcture, and a hierarchy of approximations broadly used in computational models. This includes classical mutli-body potentials, tight-binding approximations, electronic density functional theory methods, etc. Graduate version of MSCI 433. Additional work required. | |
