======= Tutorials =======

We have divided the tutorials into categories:

===== Response-Function =====

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

===== Many-body perturbation theory =====

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

===== Miscellaneous =====
