General Questions and Answers / How to calculate exited states in ATK, knowing that ATK doesn't do TD-DFT

« on: September 26, 2022, 12:27 »

Dear ATK staff,
I need to calculate excited states for my system (ZnO-biomolecule interface). I know that ATK does not support time dependant DFT. Is there a way in ATK to calculate the excited states for my system in ATK?
Thanks

General Questions and Answers / The units of electrondensity in 1D projector

« on: June 14, 2022, 14:19 »

Dears,
I calculated the electrondensity and ploted it in 1D projector along z axis (the attached picyure). I am confused now! I have two questions:
1- shouldn't be the units in (1/A^2) instead of (1/A^3) since I ploted it along an direction?
2- If I want to calculated the number of electrons from this data, I should calculate the area of below the graph? if not, how can I do it?
Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to use CombimedCalculator command on ATK2020, but I get error "NameError: name 'CombinedCalculators' is not defined". What is the problem?

General Questions and Answers / Including the gravity effect in MD simulations!

« on: April 21, 2022, 16:25 »

Dear all,

I am doing classical MD simulations for a system including 1000 peptide molecules above a surface. I want to model the absorption of the molecules from the solvent on this surface. I was thinking how I can include the influence of gravity in this process. I was thinking in reality the gravity also will push the molecules down towards the surface. If I somehow could include an external force on (all) molecules (or atoms) in a specific direction, I can include gravity effect. I went through the manual and I think it is possible to do it by hook function but I can not make the script. Would you please help me make the script for such purpose? or possibly give me the script? Thank you

Best regards,
Hadi

Thanks. Does anyone know how is it possible to calculate PL spectra in ATK then?

General Questions and Answers / Time-dependent DFT and photoluminescence

« on: December 1, 2021, 10:19 »

Hello,

I am trying to calculate photoluminescence spectra for my structures by ATK. I guess I have to do time-dependent DFT. Is TD-DFT implemented in ATK? If yes, how can I use it? If no, is there another way to calculate photoluminescence spectra by ATK? Thanks
