Jürgen Furthmüller Explained
Jürgen Furthmüller is a prominent scientist known for his significant contributions to computational materials science, particularly in the field of density functional theory (DFT) and its applications to semiconductor physics.[1]
Career and research
Furthmüller is renowned for his work in developing computational methods for materials science. He has co-authored several influential papers that have advanced the understanding of electronic properties of materials. Notably, his collaboration with Georg Kresse led to the development of efficient iterative schemes for ab initio total-energy calculations using a plane-wave basis set.[2]
One of Furthmüller's key contributions is in the study of the electronic band structures of III-V semiconductor polytypes. His research has provided insights into the alignment and quasiparticle band structures of these materials, which are crucial for various applications in electronics and optoelectronics.[3]
Furthmüller has also contributed to the development of the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP), a widely used software for performing ab initio quantum mechanical calculations. His work with VASP has enabled researchers to perform highly accurate simulations of material properties, which are essential for the design and discovery of new materials.[4]
