Solid-State Physics Calculations: Exploring the World of DFT Software

  • Thread starter Rod
  • Start date
In summary, Solid-State Physics Calculations involve the use of density functional theory (DFT) software to explore the electronic structure and properties of solid materials. DFT software uses quantum mechanics to calculate the behavior of electrons in a solid, allowing for predictions of properties such as energy levels, bonding, and magnetic properties. DFT is widely used in materials science, chemistry, and physics research to understand and design new materials and devices. The accuracy and efficiency of DFT software has greatly advanced the field of solid-state physics and continues to be a valuable tool for studying and manipulating matter at the atomic level.

I'm (by now) a fairly old guy; having a 1976 Aero-Astro PhD from MIT.

I spent many years doing applied work at LLNL, but am now interested in doing solid-state physics calculations.

So, I'll probably be posting a bunch of DFT software questions.

Wow, very impressive, Rod. Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Did you ever see the MFTFB fusion experiment construction at LLNL? It was a shame that Reagan mothballed it after it was done, IMO. Did you know Chip Smith?
