DGK Workgroup Theoretical Methods
The workgroup Theoretical Methods deals with calculations and software in crystallography as well as with the modeling and prediction of crystal structures. Many of our applications are closely linked to experiments. Our workgroup’s areas of interest include, for example:
- Development of software and computational methods for structure elucidation
- Use of artificial intelligence in crystallography
- Databases, standardized file formats and analysis of large amounts of data
- Software-supported control, prediction and monitoring of crystallographic experiments
- Modeling of crystalline materials and their properties, e.g. with electronic structure methods (density functional theory), force field methods or molecular dynamics
- Aperiodic crystals and quasicrystals
- Quantum crystallography
- Theoretical and mathematical crystallography, symmetry relations
The workgroup aims to promote the networking among DGK members whose interests lie in the above-mentioned subject areas and the training of users of crystallographic software and theoretical methods. The workgroup plays a leading role in the organization of microsymposia on its topics at the DGK annual meetings. In addition, we support DGK members in the planning and implementation of workshops.
