Event details

In this talk, I'll be giving an introduction to the concept of a pseudopotential, followed by a presentation of the actual method for constructing a pseudopotential, mainly following the approach of Hamann, Schluter and Chiang. I will conclude with some comments on comments on practical performance and testing.
