The amount of charge in individual orbit-als (such as s, px, py, pz, dxy, dzz, and so on) is now reported in the castep output file. New feature! An orbital-resolved population analysis report has been added to CASTEP. New feature! The CASTEP Calculation dialog now allows you to set a fractional system charge. New feature! The BLYP exchange-correlation functional has been implemented in CASTEP. Quantum Mechanics HighlightsNew feature! The cell optimization algorithm in CASTEP has been extended to provide an option of preserving the cell shape, so that the cell angles are fixed and the ratio of cell parameters remains constant. New feature! A new Plug Flow Reactor task has been added to Cantera to allow modeling of gas flows, including support for surface reactions, allowing reaction mechanism involving cata-lytic surfaces to be studied.Д®nhancement! The Cantera Equilibrium task has been extended to calculate the surface coverage of species in mechanisms involving reactions at surfaces.

Reaction Kinetics ExtensionsNew feature! The Cantera Reaction Editor has been significantly enhanced to include support for the modeling of gas-surface reactions. Metal alloy protocols have been updated to include new implementations of cluster expansion method and a quasi-random method extension for treating multicomponent disordered metal alloys. MORE PROPERTIESWorkflow automation in Pipeline Pilot allows efficient, conve-nient access to advance property prediction protocols. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTSCrystal symmetry now can be used in spin-orbit coupling calcu-lations for non-magnetic systems allowing accurate electronic structures and total energies, typically 4-5 times faster. Finnis-Sinclair, Sutton-Chen, Zhou-Johnson-Wadley, and flexible support for tabulated potentials now allow MPI parallel dynamics simulations of pure metal and metal alloy materials to be run.

This allows users to apply the spin-orbit coupling approach to calculations of alloys and compounds of all rare-earth elements.Д®mbedded Atom Model potentials for metals are now available in Forcite Plus molecular dynamics simulations. MORE MATERIALSCASTEP Pseudopotentials for 4f and 5f elements are now com-patible with spin-orbit coupling functionality.

An interface to plug flow reactor model has also been added meaning gas flow simulations over reactive or catalytic surfaces can now be modeled. MORE SCIENCE REACTION KINETICS USING SUR-FACE REACTIONSThe Materials Studio reaction editor for the Cantera (chemical kinetics simulation package now supports the import of reaction mechanisms involving surfaces. Using Materials Studio 2018 scientists can model and simulate more materials and more properties than ever before.

Materials Studio empowers researchers to understand the relationships between a materials atomic and molecular structure and its properties in order to make more informed decisions about material research and development. BIOVIA Materials Studio 2018 is the latest release of BIOVIAs predictive science tools for chemistry and materials science research.
