Over the decades since 1954 this method comes in and out of fashion. In one year (1980) Volker Heine wrote \"From Under a Cloud to out in the Sun\". In 1985 he told me I was crazy to be doing it! P. W. Anderson first condemned the theory and then praised it. All along the quantum chemists have been using it under other names. It is probably the simplest quantum mechanical scheme that can account for bond breaking. In 1998 Mike Finnis and I invented the \"self consistent polarisable-ion tight binding model\" and 2008 we discovered \"magnetic tight binding.\"\n\nIn the first lecture I will go over the theory, and in particular make contact where possible with the now very familiar density functional theory. I will finish with a brief mention of \"time dependent tight binding\" which was invented by Tchavdar Todorov.\n\nIn the second lecture I will give examples of its application from my own very recent research. I will talk about aqueous systems, and about carbon and hydrogen in iron and steel.”","created":"Mon Nov 27 09:24:15 UTC 2023","thumbnail":"65646b11e4b0c3a3247c346c","authorId":"649ad15af7aa6e15fad92ed5","spaces":["62dfafa8e4b0cc21d437dcea"],"resource_type":"dataset"},{"id":"6564605ce4b0c3a3247c2fb0","name":"Tony Paxton: Introduction to the tight binding approximation.

Herbst - Julia for Materials Modelling","description":"The Julia programming language has emerged in the past years as an \nalternative to the traditional python / Fortran / C++ mix in scientific \ncomputing. Being both compiled and high-level it attracts a remarkably \nbroad user base covering computer scientists, mathematicians and \napplication scientists in physics, biology, medicine and many more. With \nrespect to the multidisciplinary field of atomistic materials modelling \nI will provide a short overview of the current state of Julia codes and \nprovide perspectives for using Julia in this field.","created":"Mon Nov 27 09:25:09 UTC 2023","thumbnail":"6564709de4b0c3a3247c36d9","authorId":"649ad15af7aa6e15fad92ed5","spaces":["62dfafa8e4b0cc21d437dcea"],"resource_type":"dataset"},{"id":"6564608de4b0c3a3247c2fd2","name":"Thermal phonon transport for energy applications - Zhiting Tian","description":"This MARVEL seminar will be given by Zhiting Tian, Associate Professor at Cornell University.
