Video Lectures

These are links to the video lectures that we have recorded for the 2021 SIESTA school. They cover most of the theoretical background needed to understand how SIESTA works, as well as some practical examples of how to use it. Be mindful that some options might have changed since then, but the essentials and the theory are still valid.

1. Introduction to SIESTA (first 19 minutes)

2. Internals of SIESTA - Part I

3. Internals of SIESTA - Part II

4. Pseudo potentials in SIESTA

5. Basis sets in SIESTA - Part I

6. Basis sets in SIESTA - Part II

7. Spin-Orbit Coupling

8. Post-processing tools in SIESTA

9. SIESTA Post-processing: Crystal structure, vibrations and grid properties

10. SIESTA Post-processing: Lattice dynamics with SIESTA+Vibra

11. Electronic structure solvers in SIESTA

12. Introduction to Wannierization

13. Introduction to TD-DFT

14. Overview of the TranSIESTA module for transport simulations
