# Molecular Dynamics at Constant Temperature

Canonical Ensemble In a canonical ensemble, the particle number $N$, the volume $V$ and the temperature $T$ are fixed. The temperature of the system is connected to the averaged kinetic energy via...

# Hefei-NAMD Training

In this training session, we will learn how to do an NAMD calculation using Hefei-NAMD. Outline of the session: A bit of theory Installation of Hefei-NAMD ...

# Band Unfolding Tutorial

Introduction The supercell (SC) method is the ubiquitous approach for the study of solid-state periodic boundary condition systems. In the simplest case, one just construct an SC by repeating the ...

# General Wigner Crystal in Moiré Superlattice

Ratio of Potential and Kinetic Energy The dimensionless ratio of the potential energy ($U$) and the kinetic energy $K$, known as $\gamma_s$, can be written as 1 [\begin{align} \gamma_s &= \f...

# Numerical Solutions to the Time-dependent Schrödinger Equation

Time-dependent Schrödinger Equation The single-particle time-dependent Schrödinger equation of an electron under an external potential read [\begin{align} i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \psi...

# Bravais Lattice

Bravais Lattices in 3D Figure 1. Primitive (red), conventional (blue if any) and Wigner-seitz cell (green) of 14 three-dimensional (3D) Bravais lattices. G...

# Brillouin Zone Integration: Linear Tetrahedron Method

Introduction The translational symmetry of solids resulits in a quantum number, i.e. the crystal momentum $\mathbf{k}$. Consequently many quantities of the crystal, e.g. total energy and density...

# Phonopy: Rutile TiO2

Phonon Dispersion of Rutile TiO$_2$ This is a summary of my using Phonopy to calculate phonon spectrum of rutile TiO$_2$. 1 Computational Details Below is a list of used packages and computation...

# Matplotlib: 1D Chain ARPES Signal

ARPES Signal of 1D Chain within Tight-binding 1 The eigenvalues of 1D mono-atomic chain within the tight-binding model \[\begin{equation*} \varepsilon_\kappa = \varepsilon_0 - 2t\cos(\f...

# Peierls Transition

Peierls Transition A Peierls transition or Peierls distortion is a distortion of the periodic lattice of a one-dimensional crystal. Atomic positions oscillate, so that the perfect order of the 1D ...
