There is extensive online documentation, but it is quite extensive and can be hard to digest. Once you have access to the program via the web (see below), you will be able to access the documentation. The program is named Wien 2k (pronounced “VEEN-2-kay”) because it was developed by physicists in Vienna, Austria (“Vienna” is the … text/html 2009-06-09T13:41:21-07:00 Janet Tate http://www.physics.orst.edu/~tate/COURSES/ph575/doku.php?id=info&rev=1244580081&do=diff This course is intended to provide an introduction to the physics of condensed matter for graduate students and seniors in physics, chemistry and engineering areas in which materials science is important. Topics to be covered include the theoretical basis of the electronic structure of solids, viewed from the real-space perspective of the interactions between atoms; the free electron description and physical properties of electrically conducting materials; semiconductors; optical properties of … text/html 2009-06-02T10:54:18-07:00 Janet Tate http://www.physics.orst.edu/~tate/COURSES/ph575/doku.php?id=start&rev=1243965258&do=diff * This website is <http://www.physics.oregonstate.edu/~tate/COURSES/ph575> * Course Information * Worksheets and journal articles used during the class * [Poster Guidelines] Week 1 DayTopicReadingSummaryAssignments[1]Mon 3/30IntroductionCourse informationMeet each other, Overview of course, New materials[HW#1][2]Wed 4/1H-atomSutton Ch1, pp. 9-20, Ch. 2, pp. 21-25Atomic orbitals, quantum mechanics review - 3Fri 4/3QM formalism S: Ch. 2, pp. 21-25Projections of orbitals; matrix elements- We…
