Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
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 vibrational motion of atoms and molecules dictate many of the physical and chemical properties of solids, including their thermal and mechanical responses. We have recently demonstrated how material vibrations also underpin the chemistry of molecular solids exposed to dynamic mechanical stress: i.e. their mechano-chemical reactivity.(Michalchuk et al (2021) J. Chem Phys 154, 064105; Michalchuk et al (2019) 7, 19539) The ability to selectively tune material vibrations therefore promises a new direction for guiding both material functional properties and their chemical reactivity. This project uses ab initio simulation and aims to better understand how crystal vibrations can be tuned towards understanding and controlling mechano-chemical reactivity.
