PHY-620 Computational Materials Physics Lab Course* 3 (0 – 3)
Students are expected to systematically understand the use of an electronic structure code in laboratory for
predicting basic properties of crystalline materials: geometrical, electronic, optical and magnetic properties. In
doing so students will learn how to assess the reliability of the predicted properties by comparing their results
with data available in scientific literature. Students are also required to compile and submit their findings in
form of a lab report at the end of semester. The details of the activities performed during this lab course are as
under.
1. To visualize and manipulate crystallographic data and determine structural properties using software for
crystalline and molecular structure (VESTA or XCrySDen ).
2. To contract and visualize unit cells of solid structures using data obtained from Crystallographic Information
File (CIF).
3. To study the effect of density functional theory calculations parameters like k points, energy cutoff etc. on the
calculated physical properties.
28
4. To test the performance of standard exchange-correlation functionals of DFT in determining structural
properties of solids.
5. To determine the preferred crystal structure of an elemental solid using DFT calculations and comparing
results with available literature.
6. To determine the relative stability of a binary or ternary semiconductor in different crystal structures from
total energy calculations.
7. To structurally optimize a binary or ternary semiconductor material and determine its opto-electronic
properties.
8. To construct and simulate point defects in solids using the supercell approach.
9. To construct and simulate slab structure of semiconductor material for density functional theory calculations
for determining surface energies and adsorption of atoms.
10. To reproducing physical properties of a selected binary or ternary solid reported in scientific literature.
