Publications

The Amsterdam Modeling Suite is used in many different areas in chemistry and materials science. A few remarkable research papers have been highlighted.

The main reference for ADF and by extension the Amsterdam Modeling Suite is still the 2001 ‘Chemistry with ADF’ paper, for which you can find citations here for each calendar year:

Method development by PhD students

PhD students in the academic development groups in Amsterdam, Calgary, Groningen, and more recently, Delft have been very productive and we are grateful for their contributions to ADF, BAND, and DFTB. In the context of our collaborations, we also have had many other PhD students and post-docs work on new features and improvements in AMS, for which we are very grateful!
