About the course
The course will give a hands-on experience on the computational modelling of materials related to energy applications. The material aspect will be covered by atomistic modelling with a thrust on the electronic, structural and mechanical properties. The fundamental principles to understand the properties of materials will be discussed in order to assess the usefulness of materials for applications in solar cells, batteries, magnetocaloric materials etc. Some aspects of nanoenergy applications will be covered too.
