===== 講義目的 =====
It is the objective of the theory for nano-electronic devices to understand the fundamental principles that determine the atomic arrangement and the electronic structure of the nano-devices and the processes occurring in the nano-devices. The recent microscopic theoretical treatment allows to describe various properties of the nano-devices from first principles. In this class, students study the concept of the first principles calculations, the approximation methods which are commonly used and their limitation, and the practical implementation of a density functional code.
===== 達成目標 =====
Students can
  - explain the basic concept and outline of the first principles calculations, 
  - execute the calculation for a small molecule for example a carbon monoxide, and
  - perform the critical reading of the manuscripts concerned about the first principles calculations.
