QuantumATK Webinar - R-2020.09 Product Release

Overview

Join us for a webcast highlighting the new features, functionalities, and improvements in the QuantumATK R-2020.09 software package for atomic-scale modeling of materials, nanostructures, and nanoelectronics devices! The QuantumATK R-2020.09 version was released on Sep 7, 2020. During this webcast, discover, among other new features:

Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Analysis Objects Updates

• Hybrid-functional method (HSE) for LCAO, which enables accurate DFT simulations of large-scale systems with modest computational resources. Up to 100x faster than plane-wave HSE for smaller systems, and tested on as many as 2,000 atoms.
• 3D-corrected k·p method to speed up band structure and DOS calculations with plane-wave HSE from days/hours to less than a minute.
• Shell DFT+1/2 method for more accurate semiconductor band gaps.
• Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) simulations of molecules and solids.

Dynamics Updates

• Up to 2x faster ab initio molecular dynamics simulations.
• Improved methods to quickly obtain geometry estimates of a structure, including the addition of the Universal Force Field which covers the entire periodic table.
• Crosslinking reaction tool for building thermoset polymers + new user-friendly polymer analysis tools.

NanoLab GUI Updates

• State-of-the-art new molecular builder.
• Tool for generating good interface geometries for subsequent DFT geometry optimization.
• User-friendly framework for setting up, submitting, and analyzing a large numbers of simulations.

Sentaurus Materials Workbench

• Surface process module for setting up and running flexible simulation protocols of deposition, etching, and sputtering.
• Plugin for conveniently adsorbing molecules on a surface.
• New band gap correction method for defect trap levels gives more accurate results and can speed up calculations by 75x.
• Easy setup and analysis of a large set of different grain boundaries + user-friendly generation of a script that links the simulations to TCAD Raphael FX for interconnect simulations.
