Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
ADF2017: 2D-TDDFT, Quantum ESPRESSO GUI, NEGF su ... (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
Dear colleagues,
It's my pleasure to announce the 2017 release of the ADF Modeling Suite. We are thankful for the contributions of our collaborators, which together with the efforts of the SCM team in Amsterdam have led to many useful improvements, for example:
* GUI: interface to Quantum ESPRESSO (and 6.0 binaries), fast building and visualization of large and periodic systems, detailed insight band structures (colored according to orbital momentum - like fat bands) and projected DOS, framework builder for MOFs
* New XC functionals: Perdew’s SCAN meta-GGA and Truhlar’s MN15 are now available in ADF and BAND, libxc updated to 3.0
* Much faster periodic response with TDCDFT, and extension to 2D systems
* NEGF methods in BAND and post-DFTB now supported in GUI
* Much faster periodic DFTB calculations (including dispersion), latest DFTB.org parameters
* Scripting: python 3.5 framework for PLAMS, FlexMD, ASE and the iPython command shell
* ReaxFF improvements: eReaxFF, molecule gun, trajectory analysis

We always look forward to feedback on existing and desired functionality.
With kind regards,
