FHI-aims Online Tutorials: Efficient dispersion-corrected hybrid DFT with FHI aims, Part 1

Learn how to simulate dispersion-corrected hybrid DFT with the ab-initio materials simulation package FHI-aims. In this part 1, we will introduce the basics concepts of crystal structure prediction.

0:00 Introduction
01:50 What is crystal structure prediction (CSP)?
03:50 The workflow for CSP with FHI-aims
04:25 The crystal forms of target XXII
05:18 Converting geometry files to the FHI-aims geometry.in format
06:15 Setting up PBE calculations with the TS, MBD-nl, and XDM dispersion corrections
09:06 PBE does not predict the correct stability ordering
10:58 Setting up PBE0 calculations with dispersion corrections, including restart files
14:13 PBE0 correctly predicts the stable crystal structure when the MBD-nl or XDM corrections are used
