BAM Akademie LOBSTER School on Chemical Bonding Analysis

The need to understand why a particular material is stable or not is of paramount importance for computational materials science. Today, atomic-scale materials modelling is clearly dominated by high-performance density-functional theory (DFT) using plane waves and pseudopotentials, but understanding the often incredibly complex results frequently benefits from a thorough chemical-bonding analysis using local orbitals. This 3-day school will teach ~25 participants how to carry out chemical-bonding analysis in general. In particular, the computer program LOBSTER will be introduced, which has been designed to suit the needs of high-performance materials simulations by being able to process output from VASP, ABINIT and Quantum ESPRESSO.
