What a clear and concise way to describe all of this. The logic just flows. Great job, Astrid, you would make a wonderful teacher if you ever decide to teach, in my humble opinion.

Would love to see more quantum chem seminar style lectures from Astrid. I've recommended this video to every grad student I know. Very concise and intuitive. I love it!
Thank you for the wonderful presentation Astrid! I'm just an undergrad beginner in DFT from Nepal and your presentation does give a ground idea about DFT to build upon. What a serendipity I found this video.
@@sarojsharma5974 hello! I am doing PhD in astronomy. So, I did not continue in the field of DFT or computational materials science. But its a great field and the video is a great resource.
@@aayushgautam4919 I have a query brother. About job opportunities after masters within industries in usa or australia. How hard or easy for freshers? I have no experience, just a degree of msc physics. I studied advanced solid state physics.
Great video, I am from México and now starting work in my first article necessary to graduate, this is a very good introduction to study systems of low dimensionality.
Thank you very much for sharing such a beautiful talk. Love when knowledge is shared like this, from people that are SO passionate about. I will begin myself a project on DFT calculations during my Master courses and I used this as a short intro on the topic. So useful!
Astrid, you are a wonderful lecturer - clear, concise, fun to listen to. You're what I aspire to be. This video was helpful as I was biting my nails wondering if I'll be able to follow my DFT class in the fall. Lol to your comment "solving the many-body Schrodinger equation becomes a bit of a hassle" ;)
Great job Astrid. BTW - "CAR" refers to "card", meaning Fortran cards that were once submitted in decks to computers to give them the instructions of the job you were running.
Very clear, coherent, and in detail description of such a complicated topic. That's great. Thank you. Hope to make more videos even short, from the VASP software, in particular.
This is a fantastic presentation - thanks so much! It was pitched at just the right level for my understanding and everything was explained really clearly. I agree with one of the other comments that you would be an excellent teacher or lecturer :)
Great job, I couldn't think of bitter, you helped me to get into the subject, I will start from here to go to a more detailed study of the DFT and it's application, and do my first DFT research Thank you
Really well organised ppt...I watched it's first part and I really learnt new things and I enjoyed the dft...it's really a beautiful kit to solve sch. Eq...
WOO! That's very helpful one! I just in my first year in my DFT research. Need to know further! But this video was a nice begin for me! THX and happy new year!
@Astrid Marthinsen CAR might stand for term "CARD"...i.e. note to define a specific information...like position information, potential information as inputs
IN does mean input, but CAR does not mean Cartesian. CAR refers to "card" and the old days when programs and input files were Fortran cards. That's why "CAR" shows up for each of the different types of VASP control files.
I also thought it meant cartesian, because back then when it was written in the late 80s at MIT everything was written in cartesian coordinates and they just kept this convention. At least I learned it in school like that. But idk exactly, I never asked anyone from VASP ^^
If you look at the equation there you can see that the wave function depends on the coordinates of all electrons, so its a 3N dimensional problem. So you need to know all the coordinates of all the N electrons. If you look at the electron density, it doesn't depend on the coordinates of all electrons. The vector r "shows one position in space" where you can define the concrete electron density at that position. So it's a (usually) 3 dimensional problem. You don't need to know all positions of all electrons anymore, because you're just looking at the electron density, which kind of means "how many electrons will be on average in that position". And you can actually measure the electron desity with STM, so at a certain position you have a certain electron density and it changes if you change the coordinates of the observed position. And point charge means that you have an electric charge that is considered to exist at a single point, and thus having neither area nor volume. So for instance the charge is not smeared over an area, but is just at a single point. Hope it was understandable and right and hope that it helped :)

I appreciate your lecture! Such a nice lecture for DFT beginners.
An excellent presentation on DFT calculation! Many thanks!
thanks a lot it's too helpful. 49 minutes it's like 5min I enjoyed it.
I'm material science too! And I love DFT :) "Plain and simple quantum mechanics building the world!" Good Luck with your Phd I liked the lesson
Great job Astrid. BTW - "CAR" refers to "card", meaning Fortran cards that were once submitted in decks to computers to give them the instructions of the job you were running.
Watching with tears (almost)
What a beautiful explanation by Astrid, it was so bad and tedious on my last DFT course
Thank you for your understandable presentation! I have learned a lot from you.
Very clear, coherent, and in detail description of such a complicated topic. That's great. Thank you. Hope to make more videos even short, from the VASP software, in particular.

is it possible to get presentation of this marvelous lecture? Thanks in anticipation
brilliant clear!
what an amazing presentation !
Can anyone suggest links for informative DFT videos like this ?
I am assuming that INCAR means input file in cartesian coordinates (similar to a pdb file)
IN does mean input, but CAR does not mean Cartesian. CAR refers to "card" and the old days when programs and input files were Fortran cards. That's why "CAR" shows up for each of the different types of VASP control files.
I also thought it meant cartesian, because back then when it was written in the late 80s at MIT everything was written in cartesian coordinates and they just kept this convention. At least I learned it in school like that. But idk exactly, I never asked anyone from VASP ^^
Thank you a lot for this video! :)
Thank you so much ☺️
Question: Isn't any potential (energy) describing an interaction?
Thank you.
I really need these video, By chance got it.. Thank you
wonderful,thank you so much!
I cannot understand 11:10 why density turns from 3N to 3 dimension. What means "point charge"?
If you look at the equation there you can see that the wave function depends on the coordinates of all electrons, so its a 3N dimensional problem. So you need to know all the coordinates of all the N electrons. If you look at the electron density, it doesn't depend on the coordinates of all electrons. The vector r "shows one position in space" where you can define the concrete electron density at that position. So it's a (usually) 3 dimensional problem. You don't need to know all positions of all electrons anymore, because you're just looking at the electron density, which kind of means "how many electrons will be on average in that position". And you can actually measure the electron desity with STM, so at a certain position you have a certain electron density and it changes if you change the coordinates of the observed position.
And point charge means that you have an electric charge that is considered to exist at a single point, and thus having neither area nor volume. So for instance the charge is not smeared over an area, but is just at a single point.
Hope it was understandable and right and hope that it helped :)
Amazing ....very simply explain ...like it👍
very clear concept about DFT for begineer like me. Can I get the ppt
