Course Objective

To provide the student with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and applications of DFT which is the most effective method for the calculation of ground state structural and electronic properties of molecules and solids.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Understanding of the concepts of Thomas-Fermi and related models
2   Being able to describe a practical computational scheme in DFT, the Kohn-Sham Method
3   Being able to explain the basic idea of time-dependent DFT
4   Apply the density functional theory methods to the simulations of molecules, surface and bulk samplescquire the knowledge of the formal properties of functionals
