A comprehensive two-day course covering methods and application of transport theory.
Content
- General Introduction to Transport Theories: The foundational theories such as the Boltzmann equation, Kubo formalism, Green's function approaches, and nonlinear transport will be introduced. With practical, mainly analytical exercises we will enhance our understanding.
- Introduction into simple model Hamiltonians: Some basics effective model Hamiltonians (Rashba, Dresselhaus, Weyl, ...) will be introduced. We will learn how to extract general electronic properties (band structure, spin textures, ...) from reduced models.
- Numerical Calculations: Apply your knowledge to simple model systems using numerical methods.
- Introduction to DFT: Explore the basics of Density Functional Theory (DFT) and its role in transport theory, providing a solid grounding for further study.
- Theory-Experiment Cooperation: Examine a real-world case study illustrating the synergy between theory and experimental results, such as ARPES band structures and the tight-binding model.
- Micromagnetic Simulations
