SUMMARY:CECAM Psi-k Research Conference on New Horizons in Nucleation: a playground classical and ab initio simulation methods
DESCRIPTION:https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/7#program-7 \n\n\n\n\n\nNucleation from liquids is a phenomenon encountered in countless natural and industrial processes. Nucleation is the initial step in the formation of a new\, usually thermodynamically stable phase\, from a parent\, metastable phase. Phenomena that range from the formation of ice particles in the atmosphere\, to the obstruction of oil pipelines by gas hydrates\, including the synthesis of advanced functional materials and the controlled precipitation of specific polymorphs of active pharmaceutical ingredients crucially depend on nucleation. Understanding and learning how to control nucleation is therefore a fundamental problem with far reaching practical ramifications. Nucleation is a process that takes place on nanometer-length and picosecond-time scales that challenge direct experimental observations. By providing a natural description of the molecular scale\, where the embryo of a new phase is formed\, molecular simulations of crystal nucleation have historically played a pivotal role in improving our understanding of nucleation fundamentals [1]. For instance\, molecular simulations have enabled the development of a detailed understanding of nucleation in simple model systems\, such as hard-spheres and Lennard-Jones fluids [2\, 3]\, and have decisively contributed to uncover and corroborate complex collective phenomena such as two-step nucleation [4]. With the steady development of both algorithms and computational power\, molecular simulation methods are nowadays starting to be applied to problems and systems of increasing complexity\, nearing experimental conditions. For instance\, in the last few years simulation studies on heterogeneous nucleation [5]\, nucleation in multi-component liquids [6]\, or nucleation in biological systems [7] have appeared in the literature\, providing unprecedented insight into nucleation fundamentals [8]. Despite the tremendous progress\, molecular simulations of nucleation still face a number of challenges\, some of which are determined by intrinsic modeling limitations\, associated with e.g. the use of classical\, semiempirical forcefields\, sampling efficiency\, system size\, and the inherent complexity of the experimental conditions in which nucleation takes place [1]. For instance\, a key challenge in the field is to simultaneously provide accurate (ab inito quality) energies and extensive sampling in realistic systems\, which include interfaces\, defects\, and disordered domains. With this in mind a key aim of this meeting will be to bring the electronic structure\, classical molecular dynamics\, and nucleation theory communities together. Simultaneously we will promote an all-around perspective on the wide range of contexts in which nucleation plays a dominant role\, discussing applications in pharmaceutical processes\, biomolecular systems\, and active matter. \n\n\n\nObjectives. With the CECAM/Psi-k research conference on “New Horizons in Nucleation” we aim to: \n\n\n\n• Understand and review the current state of the art of the field. \n\n\n\n• Discuss and set some guidance for future directions for the field. \n\n\n\n• Bring together the disparate communities with expertise in nucleation\, including the molecular dynamics\, ab initio\, and industrial communities with a view to developing new techniques and applying our techniques to the most relevant problems. \n\n\n\n• Possibly producing a perspective road-map style article. \n\n\n\nThemes. In the research conference we will encourage participation and stimulate an open discussion in the following areas: \n\n\n\n• An overview on current challenges in nucleation modelling  \n\n\n\n• Recent advances in modelling heterogeneous nucleation  \n\n\n\n• Predicting nucleation kinetics  \n\n\n\n• Accuracy across length and time scales: a challenge to ab-initio calculations and machine learning methods  \n\n\n\n• Nucleation and self-assembly in out-of-equilibrium conditions  \n\n\n\n• Nucleation theory and mesoscale modelling methods (classical DFT\, DDFT\, Phase Field) \n\n\n\n• Nucleation in glasses  \n\n\n\n• Nucleation in reactive systems \n\n\n\n• Nucleation and self-assembly in biomolecular systems \n\n\n\n• Nucleation of active pharmaceutical ingredients  \n\n\n\n• Nucleation in active and biogenic materials \n\n\n\nWe envisage this research conference as an important meeting for the development of PhD students and Early Career Researchers (ECRs) directly involved in simulations of nucleation processes or interested in broadening their perspective on this topic. \n\n\n\nReferences\n\n\n\n[1] G.

SUMMARY:MMM Hub Software Spotlight: ONETEP
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Join Zoom Meeting https://ucl.zoom.us/j/99746496587?pwd=UUJHeFBzU3p1a0crTEh2T1lrNUFrUT09 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 997 4649 6587 Passcode: TYCSWS \n\n\n\nContact: George BoothEmail:  george.booth@kcl.ac.uk \n\n\n\nIn the second of the MMM Hub/TYC ‘Software Spotlight’ event series\, we will be looking at the ONETEP package for linear-scaling density functional theory calculations with controllable accuracy. \n\n\n\nThe favourable scaling of this package has allowed it to be pushed out to fully quantum applications in biology\, surfaces\, nanostructures and defects. It has excellent parallelism for large scale calculations with thousands of cores on both ARCHER2 and Tier-2 infrastructure\, and is developed by a number of researchers across the UK. \n\n\n\nIn this event\, Professor Chris-Kriton Skylaris will be talking about the capabilities and impact that the software has had on the field\, alongside Dr Jacek Dziedzic and Arihant Bhandari\, all at the University of Southampton\, presenting the anatomy of a ONETEP calculation and demonstrating the range of capabilities of this powerful code.

SUMMARY:CCP5++ Software Seminar Series: Sampling\, detecting\, and analysing collective arrangements in atomistic simulations
DESCRIPTION:Matteo Salvalaglio\n\n\n\nThomas Young Centre and Department of Chemical Engineering\, University College London \n\n\n\nAbstract: The synthesis of crystalline materials by precipitation from solution is a phenomenon at the heart of many technological and natural processes\, ranging from biomineralisation to the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The properties of macroscopic crystals are inherently determined by their structure and morphology\, two products of the atomistic-scale arrangement of building blocks emerging and propagating during crystal nucleation and growth. Molecular dynamics simulations offer a direct insight into the fundamental processes underpinning the assembly of building blocks (atoms or molecules) and into the stability of the structures emerging from such assembly. However\, to exploit the potential of atomistic simulations\, it is critical to overcome the timescale limitations associated with rare events\, perform simulations in conditions resembling macroscopic systems (i.e. constant driving force)\, and systematically identify the structure of assemblies emerging from simulation. \n\n\n\nIn this seminar\, I will discuss methods to sample\, detect\, and analyse the collective arrangement of crystal building blocks based on the definition of collective variables and on the application of clustering algorithms. To this aim\, I will illustrate two applications\, both featuring prominent use of PLUMED [Tribello et al. Computer Physics Communications 185 (2)\, 604-613\, 2014]\, including i. the characterisation of dense liquid-like clusters at graphite-NaCl(aq) interfaces [Finney et al. arXiv 2021\, https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.11773]\, and ii.  the systematic application of enhanced sampling and clustering algorithms to improve the prediction of polymorphism in molecular crystals [Francia et al. Crystal Growth and Design\, 2020Registration required\, and please help us by feeling in the optional survey.

SUMMARY:NEW: TYC Careers Talks - Engineering Analysis and High-Performance Computing (HPC) at UKAEA
DESCRIPTION:The Thomas Young Centre and UCL Women in Physics & Astronomy group are very excited to bring you the first in a set of careers talks.  To kick of the series we are very pleased to host a panel of representatives from the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA).  We encourage all of our TYC members to attend\, and particularly those members from less well-represented groups. \n\n\n\nFusion energy is entering a golden age\, with more public and private reactors being built than ever before\, and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is at the forefront of international research and development.  \n\n\n\nWe operate two world leading experiments\, JET and MAST Upgrade\, that are paving the way for future fusion power plants\, and are both undergoing the most exciting phases of their operational histories. \n\n\n\nFusion research and development is heavily dependent on the two related disciplines of Engineering Analysis and High-Performance Computing (HPC)\, and with this online event we will be showcasing the work of our specialists in these areas\, as well as discussing the benefits of working at UKAEA. There will be opportunity to ask questions of our panellists and to get into contact for careers information. \n\n\n\nTopic: TYC Careers Talks \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 991 4638 9027Passcode: TYCCareers
