Condensed Matter Physics Class and Research Experience with MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit

Explore a comprehensive webinar on integrating the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit into condensed matter physics education. Learn how Dr. David A. Strubbe incorporates simulations to illustrate key concepts like covalent bonding, bandstructure, phonons, and magnetic phase transitions in undergraduate and graduate courses. Discover the implementation of a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) project, where students calculated properties of 2D material alloys. Gain insights into using simulation tools to enhance student understanding and contribute to research. The presentation covers course structure, discussion exercises, CURE project details, and includes a demonstration of the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit.
