Introduction

We are glad to announce a 7-day Online Hands-on Training program on DFT Modelling of Molecules using Gaussian Software (DFT-G): Spectral (IR, UV, NMR, Raman and Emission Characteristics), Intermolecular Interactions, Chemical Reactions, and Charge Transfer studies.

    

  • In recent years, major scientific and industrial interest has been attracted to the multiscale structures involving nanoparticles, thin films, monolayers, etc, and their structure-property relationships. The need for such novel materials demands understanding the changes in structural and dynamic properties caused at the microscopic level.

  • Electronic structure calculations from Density functional theory (DFT) are a well-established approach for predicting a wide range of material properties. Not surprisingly, many advances have been made in theoretical models and simulation approaches to predicting electronic structure, optical behavior, and magnetic and mechanical properties.

Salient Features

  • The Hands-on Training Program is planned for Faculty, Post-docs, Research Scholars, and post-graduate students (Certification of Training Completion).

  • The training session is designed as per the guidelines defined by the UGC and can be used to publish Research Articles

  • We understand the Academic schedules of participants, so complete lecture recordings will be given to all participants.

  • Hands-on training sessions will be taken in online mode. Lecture Mode: English

  • E-certificates will be provided to all registered participants.

  • Training will be provided on the Windows Operating system

  • Programming and coding knowledge is not required for the above hands-on training.

  • On successful Registration, an automated email will be sent to confirm your participation.
