This course is designed for **Solid State Physics**.  
The topic of file is “ **Studying the Properties of Solids with Computational Science** ” and is intended for a hands-on lesson using **Materials Squares**.

It is mostly suitable for third-year undergraduates and graduate students who want to study computational science.  
All computational labs perform DFT calculations, and the computational time per lab is no more than 3 hours (on 48 cores).

There are 8 labs, which can be completed in 10~16 weeks when combined with the theory classes.

The list of computational exercises is as follows.  
[Lab.1] Convergence setting for DFT simulation  
[Lab.2] EOS, Bulk Modulus  
[Lab.3] Cohesive Energy  
[Lab.4] Electronic Structures  
[Lab.5] Surface Structures / Surface Energies  
[Lab.6] Optical Properties  
[Lab.7] Phonon Dispersion  
[Lab.8] Adsorption Structure / Adsorption Energy
