Questions at the exam will be on the content of the report/presentation and on technical aspects of the input files used for the project.
Introduction:
What is the problem? Why is it relevant? Literature: who has done this calculation before, and what were the results? Are there also experiments you can compare your calculations with?
Technical Details:
Which code have you used to produce your results (name and reference)?
What parameters did you use to produce your results (k-points, cut-off energy, pseudopot. etc)?
You should also explain WHY you have chosen these parameters, i.e. discuss the convergence.
Results:
What are your main results? Present them in 2/3 figs, making sure that the figure has the right labels (unit etc), and a short caption. If possible, compare your results with literature.
Conclusions and Outlook:
What are the main conclusions of your work? (Brief Summary)
Are there any questions which you were not able to answer and remain open?
Would you like/could you extend your work in any direction?
