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.

Since World War I, CWAs have been captured by adsorption in gas masks filled with active carbons. Today’s protection devices still use active carbons, often impregnated with a mixture of nanoparticles of metal or metal oxides, which are used as specific adsorption sites for targeted highly toxic molecules. While this topic has been explored intensively using various experimental approaches, only a few papers have been reported so far computationally. Indeed there is a need to combine diverse atomistic simulation tools (force field and/or quantum based techniques) to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions that drive the adsorption phenomena in the CWA/active carbon systems and to further predict the influence of several parameters including temperature and humidity on the performances of the active carbons. This computational work will be undertaken in tandem with an experimentalist partner expert in the field of adsorption. This project is funded by the national DGA.
