Using DFT to Predict the Equilibrium Lattice Parameter and Bulk Modulus of Crystalline Materials
Teaching Materials | 23 Aug 2017 | Contributor(s):: André Schleife, Materials Science and Engineering at Illinois
This activity guides users through the use of DFT calculations with Quantum ESPRESSO in nanoHUB to calculate the total energy of a crystal structure. By varying the volume of the structure, and calculating the associated energies, the equilibirum structure can be found. Users are...
