Preface of the 'Symposium on First-Principles Investigation of Structural, Electronic, Elastic, Thermodynamic and Phonon Properties of Materials'

摘要

Density functional theory (DFT) methods for calculating the ground states of condensed matter systems are a common and significant component of materials research. The aim of the proposed is to discuss recent advances in theoretical approaches to the fundamental understanding of materials and their structural, electronic, elastic, thermodynamic and phonon properties. The symposium seeks to promote the growth of scientific knowledge and its effective exchange among scientists in computational approach to materials design in which density functional theory (DFT) calculations and related areas.
