Parallel and Desk Top Computers for Computational Chemistry Research and Education

通过化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的奖励，犹他大学化学系将购买并行和台式计算机，用于计算化学研究和教育。该设备将加强各种领域的研究，包括对小的双荷电阴离子的研究；Rydberg-bound分子;准偶极束缚阴离子的自脱离动力学微溶剂化：水合团簇的结构、热化学及反应性界面化学反应;沸石催化。这项研究计划将对今天化学研究中使用的计算方法产生重大影响。此外，通过网络教学将对教育做出重大贡献。

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.
