Understanding the structural and electronic properties
of materials has expanded rapidly with the recent advance in scientific
computing. Our group uses ab initio electronic structure calculations,
solving Schroedinger's equation in solids with little more information
than the atomic positions and crystal structure, to understand the properties
of materials. We mainly use the linear muffin-tin orbital method (LMTO)
both within the atomic sphere approximation (ASA) and in full-potential
(FP). Our current interests include nitride spintronic materials, defects
of chalcopyrite semiconductors, We also use plane wave pseudo-potential
codes such as ABINIT to study phonons and related properties.
