 One of the goals of the course is to become familiar with modern computational software that allows one to solve difficult problems. You will use the software package Wien 2k to calculate the band structure of a semiconductor, metal, or insulator.  Decide on an interesting system (talk to me and others about what is feasible). You always start by reproducing the work of others, and then go on to explore by yourself.  More information about the program is under the Wien 2k link. You will calculate (at minimum for a passing grade) the dispersion relation and the total and partial densities of states of an interesting material. You will also calculate at least one other property using the Wien 2k advanced options – electron density, optical properties etc., for a B or higher grade. The difficulty of the project will be taken into account in assigning the grade.  One of the goals of the course is to become familiar with modern computational software that allows one to solve difficult problems.

 Don't work together to construct your posters - the temptation to produce the same format is very strong.  This is your poster.  But critique someone's poster and offer advice if asked. Tell each where to buy poster materials or how to get access to good printing //etc//.     Don't work together to construct your posters - the temptation to produce the same format is very strong.  This is your poster.  But critique someone's poster and offer advice if asked.
