Hands-on exercises

If you don't have any idea about VASP, you'll be requested to solve the 4 Hands-on sessions reported at this link[1].

Every Hands-on session consists of a PDF presentation about the exercises you are going to solve through VASP and some already-prepared input files to perform the given simulations. The files that you need to perform a simulations are given in compressed folders, which you need to unzip to extract the necessary VASP input files (.txt files).

• Hands-on Session 1: theory[2];
• Hands-on Session 2: theory[3];
• Hands-on Session 3: theory[4];
• hands-on Session 4: theory[5].

The additional slides uploaded on the site give a brief overview on Density-Functional Theory.

Even though on the presented slides every VASP tag is well-explained, however for a more detailed understanding you can refer to the VASP manual available online [6].

In addition here at this link [7] you can find some useful tips, hints and considerations on the exercises and their solution.
