What we want to achieve
This project started as a joint effort of the Norquist and Schrier groups at Haverford College to
perform TB-LMTO-ASA calculations of the Electron Localization Function (ELF) following the description in
(Stoltzfus et al., Inorg. Chem. 2007). This wiki was initially created as a way of organizing student tutorials and documentation on this work.
Since then, this work has expanded to include planewave pseudopotential DFT calculations, semiempirical tight-binding, Hirshfeld-I calculations, and many other things.
