Reading on paper is an old school way to annotate and highlight the most interesting elements For a scientist, reading is a must responsibility in the modern world of information, this task allows us to update the state of the art of the current research. For example, the objective of my work is to reproduce and improve antimony sulfo-selenide thin-film solar cells. Therefore, the first thing I did before experimental research It was to read the updated literature. As I am in touch with the author of the paper of interest I asked him about it's last published paper where their group develops…

Course: Electronic properties of semiconductors by AB-INITIO Profesor: Dr. Raciel Jaimes López  (Postdoctoral at IER-UNAM) Simulation of water molecule formation using Burai 1.3 and Quantum Espresso Viewer by Jmol Last month I attended the course Electronic properties of semiconductor by AB-Initio at IER-UNAM, on the 1st day we had a quick view about the background of DFT (Density Functional Theory), plane waves and pseudopotentials. During the course, we learn about the open-code Quantum Espresso software which is used for electronic-structure calculation and materials modeling at nano-scale. Here I share the  methodology I follow for the example water-molecule Install  BURAI1.3 on…
