Exciting

EXCITING

Exciting is a state-of-the-art full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) code which uses quantum mechanics, specifically density functional theory (DFT), to determine the physical properties of solids and molecules. Augmented plane waves provide an almost ideal basis set for computing the Hamiltonian matrix for a periodic solid, and allow for tightly bound core and semi-core electrons to be treated on the same footing as valence electrons.

Famous quotes containing the word exciting:

    But then people don’t read literature in order to understand; they read it because they want to re-live the feelings and sensations which they found exciting in the past. Art can be a lot of things; but in actual practice, most of it is merely the mental equivalent of alcohol and cantharides.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Lack of reciprocity ruins friendships, but makes love affairs exciting for a time.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    What an exciting age it is we live in
    With all this talk about the hope of youth
    And nothing made of youth.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
