After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend the materials presented in the lecture and to draw conclusions from them, as well as to actively communicate the contents presented during the lecture.
1) Electronic structure with density functional theory
2) Wannier functions and construction of lattice models
3) Introduction to many-body methods, Fock space, exact diagonalization
4) Kondo effect and impurity physics
5) Disorder and coherent potential approximation
Lecture with integrated exercises
We currently plan the lecture as recoreded videos and the exercises in the EDV Prakikum Physik computer room. Depending on the further Covid-19 pandemie and measures of the government or TU Wien, the latter might change to online. Please register as the number of seats in EDV Prakt Phys is quite limited due to COVID.
