How to run multiple PLAMS jobs through SLURM (video tip of the week)

In this video tip of the week, we’ll show how easy it is to run several PLAMS jobs through the SLURM queueing system, both on one and across several nodes. See also the PLAMS cookbook...

Concentration dependent Li migration barriers in LiTiS2 with M3GNET (video tip of the week)

In this video tip of the week we take a look at Li migration barriers inside a crystal structure with the fast and accuratue M3GNET machine learning potential. The video is based on a new...

Productivity: Make your own presets in the AMS GUI (video tip of the week)

In this video tip of the week we’ll have a closer look at GUI presets and how you can use them to customize the GUI. From saving calculation presets to changing the AMSinput defaults to...

Automatic discovery of transition states and local minima (video tip of the week)

In this video tip of the week we’ll automatically explore the Water splitting reaction on a rutile (TiO2 surface). With the help of the potential energy surface (PES) exploration task in AMS, transition states and...

AMS in the cloud: How to use the ThinLinc Server (video tip of the week)

In this video tip of the week we’ll show how easy it is to use AMS in the cloud via the ThinLinc demo server. You can sign up for free trials via our trial form...

Singlet-Triplet (S0 – T1) gap with spin-orbit qs-GW-Betheāˆ’Salpeter Equation (video tip of the week)

In this video tip of the week we’ll show how you can now use spin-orbit in combination with GW-BSE calculations for most accurate excitation energies. See also our GW-BSE tutorial.

Li ion reduction at the graphene surface with eReaxFF (video tip of the week)

In this video tip of the week we use eReaxFF to simulate the dynamics of explicit Li ion reduction at a graphene surface. These state-of-the-art simulations bring us a step closer to modeling an entire...

Fast and accurate Li intercalation potentials in layered cathodes with machine learning potentials (video tip of the week)
