Explores modeling multilayer 2D materials, tight-binding models, and electrical conductivity in materials, emphasizing the importance of symmetries and reduced models.
Covers the precursors of Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (DFT) and the Kohn-Sham formulation, explaining types of Exc[p] approximations and the performance of LDA.
Explores phonon frequencies, heat capacity, thermal properties, vibrations in solids, free electron gas, Fermi function, and density functional theory.
