FYSS5540 Tiheysfunktionaaliteoria (8 op)
Osaamistavoitteet
After the course, students will be able to derive the key equations of density functional theory. Students have acquired a broad conceptual understanding of the basic ideas behind density functional theory as well as introductory knowledge for independently reading the research literature on density functional theory.
Suoritustavat
Discussions in the class, assignments, project work.
