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.

Optical and electro-optical analysis tools are of paramount importance when characterizing emerging materials, extracting information about vibrational, and chemical properties, inhomogeneities, strain, crystallinity, electron-phonon coupling and anharmonicities in a local environment, and detecting different structural phases.

  • See in action how easy it is to set up and perform optical and electro-optical analysis calculations of
    • Raman spectrum: either polarization dependent for one or multiple angles between incoming and scattered light, or polarization averaged spectrum
    • Infrared spectrum
    • Refractive indices, extinction coefficients, reflectivity, susceptibility, optical conductivity
    • Optical spectrum including a possibility to calculate an intraband contribution for metals
    • Second order susceptibility
    • Electro-optical tensor
  • Learn how to conveniently resolve different phonon contributions to optical properties, investigate the importance of ionic contribution to optical properties in polar materials and the effect of electron-phonon coupling
  • Discover how you could use the intuitive NanoLab GUI to plot and analyze results from optical property simulations

 

QuantumATK is a complete and fully integrated software toolkit for atomic-scale modeling of complex materials, interfaces, nanostructures and electronic devices. Atomic-scale modeling tools in QuantumATK range from classical force fields to semi-empirical models and DFT with either LCAO or plane-wave basis sets.
