Using the NRLMOL repository

In order to obtain a copy of NRLMOL from the repository you must follow this instructions:

Marco Olguin attended the Organic Solar Cells conference at Santa Fe, New Mexico

Marco Olguin attended the Organic Solar Cells conference at Los Alamos National Laboratory in Santa Fe, New Mexico from May 6 to May 8, 2013.

Plotting wave functions using Jmol

In order to plot the Wavefunction files that NRLMOL genertates, you must do the following steps:

Density Functional Theory video

I found this Youtube video on DFT.

Check it out:

Running jobs at Hopper

In order to run jobs on NERSC's Hopper cluster you need to have job script to submit, (you can download a sample from here).

Molecular Viewer Test

This is a test of how to introduce the Jmol molecular viewer into the site.
You just need to create new content of type "Molecular Viewer" and attach an .xyz file
