Parallel and Desk Top Computers for Computational Chemistry Research and Education

在化学研究仪器和设施(CRIF)计划的这一奖励下，犹他大学化学系将购买用于计算化学研究和教育的并行和台式计算机。该设备将加强各种领域的研究，包括小的双电荷阴离子的研究；里德堡结合的分子；准偶极结合的阴离子的自脱动力学；微溶剂化：水合团簇的结构、热化学和反应活性；界面化学；以及沸石催化。这项研究计划将对当今化学研究中使用的计算方法产生重大影响。此外，还将通过基于网络的教学对教育作出重大贡献。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Utah will purchase parallel and desk top computers for computational chemistry research and education. This equipment will enhance research in a variety of areas including studies of small doubly charged anions; Rydberg-bound molecules; autodetachment dynamics in quasi dipole-bound anions; microsolvation: structure, thermochem & reactivity of hydrated clusters; interfacial chemistry; and zeolite catalysis. This research program will have a substantial impact on the computational methods used today in chemical research. In addition, there will be significant contributions to education via web-based instruction.
