Messages from the Psi-k trustees and other topics of relevance to the Psi-k community, e.g. community-led software codes or databases…

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.

Join us for a webcast on Sep 30, highlighting the new features, functionalities, and improvements in the QuantumATK R-2020.09 software package for atomic-scale modeling of materials, nanostructures, and nanoelectronics devices! The QuantumATK R-2020.09 version was released on Sep 7, 2020.

Register for the webcast here.

During this webcast, discover, among other new features:

Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Analysis Objects Updates

  • Hybrid-functional method (HSE) for LCAO, which enables accurate DFT simulations of large-scale systems with modest computational resources. Up to 100x faster than plane-wave HSE for smaller systems, and tested on as many as 2,000 atoms.
  • 3D-corrected k·p method to speed up band structure and DOS calculations with plane-wave HSE from days/hours to less than a minute.
  • Shell DFT+1/2 method for more accurate semiconductor band gaps.
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) simulations of molecules and solids.

Dynamics Updates

  • Up to 2x faster ab initio molecular dynamics simulations.
  • Improved methods to quickly obtain geometry estimates of a structure, including the addition of the Universal Force Field which covers the entire periodic table.
  • Crosslinking reaction tool for building thermoset polymers + new user-friendly polymer analysis tools.

NanoLab GUI Updates

  • State-of-the-art new molecular builder.
  • Tool for generating good interface geometries for subsequent DFT geometry optimization.
  • User-friendly framework for setting up, submitting, and analyzing a large numbers of simulations.

Sentaurus Materials Workbench

  • Surface process module for setting up and running flexible simulation protocols of deposition, etching, and sputtering.
  • Plugin for conveniently adsorbing molecules on a surface.
  • New band gap correction method for defect trap levels gives more accurate results and can speed up calculations by 75x.
  • Easy setup and analysis of a large set of different grain boundaries + user-friendly generation of a script that links the simulations to TCAD Raphael FX for interconnect simulations.

You are welcome to ask questions throughout the webcast or at the end during the Q&A session.
