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.

The latest version of the AIRSS package (v0.9.1) has been released, under the GPL2 licence. 

 

Ab initio Random Structure Searching (AIRSS) is a simple, powerful and highly parallel, approach to structure prediction. 

 

The package is tightly integrated with the CASTEP code. However, it is relatively straightforward to modify the scripts to use alternative codes to obtain the core functionality, and examples are provided.

 

In addition to numerous bug fixes, the latest version provides an improved build system, more examples and support for the VASP code.
