Quantum and Catalysis Software

Materials Studio offers validated, efficient, and user-friendly quantum mechanical applications based on Density Functional Theory (DFT), hybrid QM/MM and semi-empirical methods. Quantum mechanical methods yield accurate thermodynamic, kinetic, and structural results, providing an efficient adjunct to experiment. In addition, the methods provide insight into processes at the atomic level, allowing you to understand why and how a process occurs. Applications include alternative energy materials, catalysis, sensors and semiconductors.

Materials Studio quantum and catalysis tools accurately predict:

  • Molecular and crystal geometry
  • Chemical reaction pathways
  • Optical properties
  • Spectra (UV/Vis, IR, Raman, NMR, EELS, ELNES)
