Ab initio Modelling in Solid State Chemistry

London Edition (New Users):

London (UK), 19 - 23 September 2016

Directors: L. Bernasconi - N.M. Harrison - G. Mallia

The Department of Chemistry and the Thomas Young Centre at Imperial College
London and the Computational Materials Science Group of the Science and
Technology Facilities Council (STFC), in collaboration with the Theoretical
Chemistry Group of the University of Torino, are organizing the 2016 MSSC Summer
School on the "ab initio modelling of crystalline and defective solids with the
CRYSTAL code".
The week long school is designed for new users of CRYSTAL, PhD students,
Post-Docs and researchers with interests in solid state chemistry,
physics, materials science, surface science, catalysis, magnetism
and nano-science. It will provide an introduction to the capabilities
of quantum mechanical simulations and to the practical use of CRYSTAL.

One of the aims of the workshop is to learn how to run efficiently
the CRYSTAL code in parallel,
both for the replicated data and the distributed data implementation
(Pcrystal versus MPPcrystal).
This year we offer to the participants the opportunity to run
the tutorial exercises on their clusters,
in addition to the local computational resources.
If necessary, help in the installation of the binaries,
the scripts to run the crystal code and the queue systems will be
provided before the workshop.

Extended deadline for payment of early bird fees: Friday 19th August
Deadline for payment of standard fees: Friday 9th September
