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...
In computational mass spectrometry, one often tackles the problem of correlating a mass spectrometry signal to a viable and chemically sound structure. Although such problems are commonly solved in organic chemistry, sometimes even with simple...
