 Calculate the dispersion relation and density of states (including partial DoS) for at least one material of your choice (except Si), using the Wien 2k software.  Demonstrate your creativity by one expansion of this basic assignment to achieve the highest possible grade.   Calculate the dispersion relation and density of states (including partial DoS) for at least one material of your choice (except Si), using the Wien 2k software.  Demonstrate your creativity by one expansion of this basic assignment to achieve the highest possible grade.  
  
-Write a **paper** that describes your findings.  It should state what you are trying to investigate and include some motivation for the choice of material.   This paper should distill the knowledge you have gained about electronic structure, and be well-constructed to be very helpful to an incoming PH575 student.

It will show evidence of your scientific curiosity, and your ability to explain the essential concepts.
  
 Summarize your results as a **poster** for the group to be shown in the hour reserved for MT2.  This is a conference of your peers, and may also be attended by interested parties such as former and prospective PH 575 students, and faculty. Summarize your results as a **poster** for the group to be shown in the hour reserved for MT2.  This is a conference of your peers, and may also be attended by interested parties such as former and prospective PH 575 students, and faculty.

 You should not go to great expense to generate the posters; 8.5” by 11” sheets pasted to thin poster board will be fine. The total size is limited to about half the size of a whiteboard in WGR 304.  You should not go to great expense to generate the posters; 8.5” by 11” sheets pasted to thin poster board will be fine.

 +Why a poster as well as a paper? It's so that you can share your work with the other students and learn something from them, too.  Science is about communicating ideas and results, so you need to practice that.  So come up with something interesting to tell your peers.
