Learn How to Use Siesta Software: Tutorial and Sample Files Available

[carbon9]

Hi all,

I'm searching a tutorial on the usage of Siesta software. I have found the manual of Siesta from the developer's website (http://www.uam.es/departamentos/ciencias/fismateriac/siesta/ ) but I'm now looking for some example files and explanations. Could you please point me to a tutorial link, file if you know one?

Regards,

You probably checked the official site's tutorials? Those can be of some use, does the current release have examples / templates included? Long time since had anything to do with Siesta.

Hi Perennial,

Yes I've checked the site, there is a manual that gives the explanation of commands. Also, there are exampe *.fdf files in the Siesta folder but I'm looking a tutorial that explains all the capabilities of Siesta on examples, if any.

yep, don't know if such is directly available but you'd have to browse & read the material on the site and parse it from there, like the "execution tutorial"

http://www.uam.es/departamentos/ciencias/fismateriac/siesta/Tutorials/Barcelona-2007/Basic-Execution.ppt

and the "siesta-basics" slideset for one.

Short and sweet general paper: http://www.riken.go.jp/lab-www/library/publication/review/pdf/No_29/29_042.pdf

Thanks Perennial. I've downloaded all the stuff from official site. If I find extra files, I'll share on this board.
