Atomistics Course
Gain mastery in atomistic modelling of Li conductors. Construct supercells, select appropriate methods and force fields, execute MD simulations, and derive diffusion and conductivity data to inform practical solid-state battery material development. Delve into building models from unit cells to defects, tuning simulations with thermostats and timesteps, analysing Li ion movement via MSD and Arrhenius methods, identifying structure-property patterns, and using tools like VESTA and pymatgen for visualisation and automation.
