Structure and Function from First Principles

Dr. Karin Rabe

Abstract:   The use of first-principles density-functional-theory methods to analyze and predict the structure and properties of functional materials will be presented in a pedagogical way. Examples will be drawn mainly from functional oxides, including high-k dielectrics, piezoelectrics, and ferroelectrics, in bulk, thin films and multilayers.
