Materials simulations using VASP-a quantum perspective to materials science

Author(s)

Abstract

The fundamental aspects of ab-initio simulations of materials properties and of processes in materials based on density-functional theory, and their implementation at various levels of theory in the Vienna ab-initio simulation package are reviewed. The state-of-the-art is illustrated at selected examples, chosen from nanostructured materials, quasicrystals, surface science and catalysis. Finally a brief outlook is given on current developments attempting to make post-DFT approaches applicable to materials-science problems. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
