NANS1004 Computational nanosciences (2 op)
Osaamistavoitteet
At the end of this course, students are able to relate computational research to experimental and purely theoretical research. Students can differentiate and classify different methods in computational nanoscience with respect to their central approximations, quantum-mechanical characters, and computational efficiencies. They are able to justifiably choose the most appropriate computational methods once given the material system and the properties under investigation as well as independently deepen their methodological knowledge whenever necessary.
