Tutorials

This page contains tools for learning to use the ONETEP code. The tutorials introduce the basic features of ONETEP and come with a series of reference input files. This should be a good source of example input files for your own work.

Note that this page does not provide an exhaustive description of the code’s capabilities. You are therefore invited to consult the list of input variables and the ONETEP publications for a description of more advanced features.

The ONETEP email discussion forum is the best place to ask unanswered questions!
