SUMMARY:Predicting surface structures from first principles - Phil Hasnip\

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:The Castep computer program enables accurate quantum mechanica
 l simulations to be performed on real materials. I will show how Castep ca
 n be used to predict the behaviour of surfaces from first principles\, hel
 p to interpret experimental data\, and how this has been applied by our ex
 perimental collaborators to study rare earth silicides and other nanostruc
 tures.
