OnlineSimulation tutorial and assignment: bonding curves in H2 and He2 molecules
Category
Published on
Abstract
In this tutorial students will use density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the nanoHUB tool SeqQuest to study bonding in two simple molecules: H2 and He2. The tutorial shows how to compute energy as a function of bond distance and extract the equilibrium bond distance and bond strength.
Disclaimer: While very powerful, DFT makes well know approximations and the results obtained in this module are approximate.
