Abstract:

In this talk, Dr. Onofrio will give an overview of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite (AMS) to perform atomistic simulations at various levels of theory. First, he will describe the AMS driver designed to explore potential energy surfaces of molecules and periodic systems, and its integration with AMS’ DFT, DFTB and force field engines. To illustrate the capability of AMS’ DFT engines, he will introduce a few studies performed with ADF and its periodic extension BAND. Second, he will focus on force fields (ReaxFF and MLPotential) to describe reactive systems and polymer chemistry. Finally, Dr. Onofrio will present PARAMS to create new force field parameters in order to describe novel molecular interactions. Along with this presentation, he will illustrate the various applications with short demos or videos performed with the AMS graphical user interface.
