Numerical strongly correlated systems textbooks

These are the books I’ve chosen to give a head start in quantum physics and strongly correlated systems. There may be more appropriate textbooks out there, but these are really clear and comprehensive, I thought they are worth sharing.

Tools for atomic structures

This is another list, this time for the tools used to create supercells when doing DFT and related simulations.

• XCrySDen (Linux)
• VESTA program (both Linux and windows)
• Utility “genlat.f” of DL_POLY
• ‘Spacegroup’ program in EXCITING package to generate the supercell, use ‘fropho’  to check the symmetry’
• PHON code
• QuantumWide Virtual NanoLab, VNL. (Linux, Windows, Mac) Free for academics.
