Dr. Zope attended a meeting in Jekyll island

Dr. Zope attended the 5th Jekyll island cluster meeting in honor of professor Jena's brithday. Held in Jekyll island Georiga from April 21 to 25, 2013.

Several sicentists from around the world gathered there to congratulate Dr. Purusottam (Puru) Jena.

Dr. Zope gave a talk on density functional study of charged transfer states in molecular complexes.

Starting calculation from SYMBOL file

If you are starting a calculation from the SYMBOL file, you need to include in the directory where you will execute these additional files:

The binary file (cluster)
RUNS
ISYMGEN
GRPMAT
REPMAT
a job script if running in a remote cluster.
NRLMOL_INPUT.DAT (only if you need to request extra information to be calculated).
VMOLD (only if you do not want the program to generate a new mesh).
PSPINP (only if any of the atoms are using pseudo-potential: listed with BHS in the CLUSTER file)

APS poster session

The electronic structure group attended the APS March meeting in Baltimore Maryland from March 19 to March 22.

Five oral presentations were given, representing the group's ongoing research projects:

Setting up an excited state calculation

In order to set up an excited state calculation using NRLMOL, the following files are needed after you run a ground state calculation:

  1. RUNS
  2. REPMAT
  3. GRPMAT
  4. ISYMGEN
  5. SYMBOL
  6. HAMOLD
  7. VMOLD
  8. NRLMOL_INPUT.DAT
  9. XMOL.DAT

Put all these files in a separate directory. You will need to modify the files RUNS and SYMBOL, and run NRLMOL again with this files as input files (no CLUSTER file is needed).

The file RUNS must contain this:
