Reactive Grand-Canonical Monte Carlo Simulations for Modeling Hydration of MgCl2

Modeling the sorption of gas molecules in densely packed bulk material can be a challenging task with standard molecular modeling methods like Molecular Dynamics (MD) or Monte Carlo (MC). This is especially true when the...

New video: electron transport with eReaxFF

Check out the teaser video for the new eReaxFF tutorial to simulate electron transport.

Thermal and mechanical properties of Ni-Cr alloys with ReaxFF

Understanding the temperature-dependent mechanical strength and physical properties such as elastic constants and the thermal response is essential for the applications of metallic alloys. While ReaxFF force fields for transition metals have been successfully applied...

ReaxFF videos on polymer properties: CTE, Tg

Have a look at these two new videos demonstrating the tutorials for modeling the glass transition temperature and the thermal expansion coefficients of thermoset polymers.

Reversing fatigue in carbon-fiber reinforced vitrimer composites

To address the irreversibility of fatigue in polymer composites, a recent study showed that vitrimeric polymers can be used to reverse the fatigue damage through topological rearrangement of the marcomolecular network, self-healing the polymers. To...

Advanced ReaxFF workshop

On 8-9 December an advanced ReaxFF workshop will be held in person in Ghent as well as virtually. The workshop is part of the training series for the AutoCheMo ITN, however, we encourage active participation from other...
