WIEN 2k

Adding a new dimension to DFT calculations of solids ...

9^th WIEN - W O R K S H O P

L/APW+lo calculations with the WIEN2k code

April 23-26, 2003
Vienna University of Technology, Austria
Chairman: K.Schwarz (TU Wien)

Announcement

This workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to learn how density functional calculations can be done for solids using the "(full-potential) Augmented Plane Wave and local orbitals" method (L/APW+lo) as embodied in the WIEN2k code. Presently this code is used by more than 500 groups worldwide. The workshop will be divided into two parts. The first part targets the new and unexperienced user, while in the second part experienced users can present their results demonstrating the kind of physics made possible by this code. In addition new and future features of WIEN2k will be presented and discussed.

For more information on WIEN2k see the WIEN2k Homepage
