Tutorials

We have divided the tutorials into categories:

• RF1: We will show how to compute the dynamical and dielectric properties of AlAs.
• RF2: We will show how to compute a phonon band structures and thermodynamical properties.
• Optic: We will show how to compute frequency-dependent linear and second order nonlinear optical response.
• El-ph: We will show how to compute electron-phonon interaction and superconducting properties of Al.
• Elastic: We will show how to compute elastic and piezoelectric properties
• Static: We will show how to compute electronic non-linear susceptibility, non-resonant Raman tensor and electro-optic effect.
• Temperature: We will show how to compute the zero-point motion, the temperature-dependence and the lifetime of the electronic eigenvalues.

• GW1 : We will show how to calculate self-energy corrections to the DFT Kohn-Sham eigenvalues in the GW approximation.
• GW2 : We will show how to do the same in the metallic case, without the use of a plasmon-pole model.
• BSE1 : We will show how to calculate the macroscopic dielectric function including excitonic effects within the Bethe-Salpeter formalism.
