 One of the goals of the course is to become familiar with modern computational software that solve difficult problems in solid state physics. You will use the software package OpenMX to calculate the band structure of a semiconductor, metal, or insulator. You can complement your own calculations by downloading band structures from an open source project called aflow. Decide on an interesting system (talk to the instructor and others about what is feasible). You always start by reproducing the work of others, and then go on to explore by yourself. 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 – electron density, optical properties, spin polarization 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 solve difficult problems in solid state physics.

 Summarize your results as a poster to be shown during class (date will be posted on the main calendar of the course). This is a conference of your peers, and may also be attended by interested parties such as former and prospective PH575 students, and faculty. OSU Student Media Services, located in the Valley Library, print posters for free if it is a class assignment. A typical poster size is 3 feet wide, 3.5 - 4 feet tall. Text and diagrams should explain your calculations, and provide other information about your material. During the poster session, you'll stay with your poster for 50% of the time, and circulate around other posters for 50% of the time. Summarize your results as a poster to be shown during class (date will be posted on the main calendar of the course).

 After the poster session, you will write a paper that describes your findings. The feedback you get from the poster should help you write a better paper. After the poster session, you will write a paper that describes your findings.
