Materials Databases
Molecular Exploration Tool
The user can explore the database by selecting atom types on the periodic table. The output can show the molecule structures for different molecules and different bond angles and bond distances.
Additionally the user can perform molecular dynamics simulations by selecting the "Run LAMMPS"
Nanomaterial Registry
The Nanomaterial Registry is a fully-curated, publicly-available database of nanomaterial data, located at http://www.nanomaterialregistry.org. Data for the Registry are sourced from other databases, the scientific literature, material standards reports, and manufacturer catalogs.
Open KIM Explorer
Query the OpenKIM repository for names of interatomic Models for simulating selected materials.
Photonics DB: Optical Constants
PhotonicsDB: Optical Constants uses initial experimental data to interpolate the dielectric function or the index of refraction of bulk materials. Interpolations are possible only within a certain range of wavelengths taken from the initial experimental data sets.
The tool also gives the approximate data and the approximation coefficients obtained from best-fit Drude-Lorentz models for gold and silver. Depending on the number of Lorentz kernels (from 1 to 5) the Drude-Lorentz models support different accuracy of the best-fit approximation. In addition to the cubic spline interpolation of the raw experimental data, gold and silver can be interpolated using the corresponding Drude-Lorentz best-fit models.
