40 years of DFT based simulations of solids with the WIEN2k code

Announcement

The WIEN2k program package is one of the most popular DFT codes in Computational Materials Science and allows to calculate the electronic structure of solids with high precision. The WIEN2k workshop includes elementary and advanced tutorials on DFT, electronic structure calculations, magnetic, optical and spectroscopic properties. We start with detailed introductions and then have hands-on exercises with the WIEN2k program. In addition, there will also be a poster session for presentations by the participants. The WIEN2k community is steadily increasing and now we have about 3250 registered users. The WIEN2K code development started 1980 with the PhD theses of P. Blaha. The code is continously updated to serve researchers in the field of Materials Science, thanks to the efforts of various contributors. Following a long tradition and with great vitality, the WIEN2k workshop provides an arena for both, new and experienced WIEN2k users who come together and discuss elemental questions as well as the latest developments in the world of WIEN2k. In addition there will be a scientific symposium covering 40 years of DFT simulations of solids.

For more information on WIEN2k see the WIEN2k Homepage

Topics of the workshop

  • Introduction to density functional theory
  • Introduction to the APW+lo method
  • Concepts of WIEN2k
  • Use of the web-based graphical user interface (w2web) as well as the command-line interface
  • "Hands-on" calculations with the WIEN2k code
  • DFT+U, hybrid-DFT, GW, BSE and optical properties
  • Core level spectroscopy (XPS, XAS, EELS)
  • NMR Chemical shifts, Knight shifts and quadrupole interactions, Mössbauer hyperfine interactions
  • Relativistic effects, collinear and non-collinear magnetism
  • Advanced topics and new features in WIEN2k (building models with supercells, structure optimization, phonons, Wannier functions, Berry phases, Transport, ... )
  • discussions and exchange of experience between users and developers
  • Poster session
    • (You must send a camera-ready pdf-file (max 1 page) to Peter Blaha.)
Hands-on sessions:
Please bring your own laptop + power cable + adapter for European plug. Plugs and wlan connection will be provided.
When you have a MS-Windows laptop, please install the x2go client on it.
