Upcoming Events

Teaching and learning with the MIT Atomic Scale Modeling Toolkit's classical and quantum atomic modeling applications

We’re excited to announce our new Winter 2023 Series – Teaching with nanoHUB! You’re invited to attend our first session. It will explore the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit with Dr. Enrique Guerrero. He will demonstrate more advanced features and compute phonon and Raman spectra using density functional perturbation theory.

Date and time
Wednesday, December 7, 2022 from 12 – 1 PM EST

Micromagnetic simulation of magnetic nanowires (MNW) using OOMMF to predict heating ability

The second webinar in our Teaching with nanoHUB Winter 2023 series will feature the OOMMF: Object Oriented MicroMagnetic Framework tool with Yicong Chen. Yicong is a Ph.D Candidate in Prof. Beth Stadler’s lab at the University of Minnesota whose research focuses on the Micromagnetic simulation of magnetic nanowires using OOMMF. More webinar details will be available soon on the nanoHUB Events page, and you can register now at the link below.

New Resources on nanoHUB

A Condensed Matter Physics class and a Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) with the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit

In this presentation, Dr. David Strubbe of the University of California, Merced, discusses how he has been using the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit as a part of his undergraduate and graduate class on condensed matter physics. Dr. Strubbe demonstrates how he used the simulation tools to help students understand condensed matter physics and ultimately make their own contribution to research.

This presentation is part 1, part 2 can be viewed below (Interactive Modeling of Materials with Density Functional Theory Using the Quantum ESPRESSO Interface within the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit.)

 

Interactive Modeling of Materials with Density Functional Theory Using the Quantum ESPRESSO Interface within the MIT Atomic Scale Modeling Toolkit

This newly published resource features the Quantum ESPRESSO interface within the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit with interactive examples. In this presentation, Dr. Enrique Guerrero reviews the basics of density functional theory and focuses on the tool’s capabilities.

The handout that is presented in this presentation can be found here: A Guide to the MIT Atomic Scale Modeling Toolkit for nanoHUB.


Gaussian Process Regression for Surface Interpolation

This presentation, by Zhiqiao Dong and Manan Mehta, introduces the fundamentals of GPR and its application to surface interpolation. It also covers a new technique called filtered kriging (FK), which uses a pre-filter to improve interpolation performance. The FK method will be illustrated using periodic surfaces manufactured by two photon lithography.
