Abinit 自旋计算教程指导

Published: 2026-01-26

这篇博文旨在指导大家深入学习 Abinit 的自旋(Spin)教程。这部分内容对于研究磁性材料(如铁、钴、镍)或涉及重元素的自旋轨道耦合效应至关重要。我们将通过密度泛函理论(DFT)处理电子自旋的三种主要场景:铁磁性、反铁磁性以及自旋轨道耦合。

在 Mac 上通过修改 Hosts 文件屏蔽分心网站

Published: 2026-01-04

在数字时代,我们每天都面临着无数的诱惑和干扰。社交媒体、短视频平台、即时通讯工具——这些应用虽然为我们带来了便利和娱乐,却也在不知不觉中侵蚀着我们的专注力和时间。如果你正在寻找一种简单而有效的方法来屏蔽这些分心网站,那么修改 macOS 系统的 hosts 文件将是一个理想的解决方案。

The Five-Layer Cake Model of the PhD Journey

Published: 2026-01-03

The artificial intelligence industry operates on a five-layer architecture: energy, chips, infrastructure, models, and applications. This elegant framework captures how foundational resources enable increasingly sophisticated outputs. What if we applied this same logic to the PhD journey? The result is a remarkably clear model for understanding where doctoral students struggle—and why.
