Many chemistry textbooks assume the unlimited validity of a simplified Periodic Law of Elements. In Nature, the chemical periodicity of the elements results from the large energy gaps between the atomic core and valence shells...
Calculated electric field gradients (EFGs) are instrumental in the interpretation of experimentally determined nuclear quadrupole interactions (NQIs), in terms of electronic and molecular structure. Obtaining accurate calculated EFGs is therefore central for studying the structure...
Join our next FREE webinar in our Spring Webinar series 2023 with SCM’s founder Professor Evert Jan Baerends! This is a unique opportunity to deepen your knowledge about computational chemistry and some of the theory...
This week SCM is hosting Hector Prats from Stamatakis Research Group at University College London! He is involved in the ReaxPro project and is visiting us to learn and explore all the tools included in...
Join our next FREE webinar in our Spring Webinar series 2023 to learn about the Energy Decomposition Method (EDA) and its applications (EDA tutorial). Next Wednesday, May 24th, 2023, 15:00 CEST, with Professor Célia Fonseca...
SCM’s expert Erik van Lenthe demonstrates how to calculate X-ray absorption spectra with ADF. Erik walks you through the simulation of core excitations with ADF, including spin-orbit coupling, TDDFT and the fast transition potential method....
Nitric oxide (NO(g)) plays a ubiquitous role as a signaling molecule and strengthens the mammalian host defense response by effecting oxidative destruction of harmful pathogen biomolecules (i.e., by oxidation and/or nitration). Toxic overproduction of NO(g) and reactive NOx products such as...
Inorganic complexes made of actinide elements are attracting interest, both from experimental and theoretical sides, due to their many potential applications in catalysis, magnetic cooling materials, and notably as high spin molecules, which could behave...
In this video tip of the week, Ole demonstrates how easily the work function can be calculated with our periodic DFT code BAND due to the support of true 2D-periodicity. A step-by-step version of the...
Gain inside into the modeling concepts behind a fully atomistic simulation of chemical vapor deposition. A new step-by-step ReaxFF tutorial shows how acceleration methods combine with the molecule gun/sink to simulate chemical vapor / atomic...
