Dear Catalyst Users,

Please join us at the 8th European Catalyst User Group Meeting to be
hosted by our CAMD group at the University of Innsbruck, located in
Innsbruck, Austria.  This meeting will be held on Thursday September
30th,
2004 at this venue.  Registration and agenda for this event has been
posted at the URL below.  Please indicate on the electronic registration

form if you would like to make a presentation at the meeting.

http://www.accelrys.com/usergroups/catalyst/2004/eu/index.html

This is a great opportunity to get to know other users, speak with the
Catalyst Development and Marketing team, and share your results with
other
users.  In addition, Accelrys will provide an update on server platform
developments, as well as new and future technologies within the Catalyst

product line. This is a stimulating forum to add your input into future
enhancements to Catalyst.

I hope to see you there,

Thierry Langer

.....................
These results would place KMLYP near the top compared with all the other
tested methods.  The only method that does a better job predicting
barrier heights is MPW1K, but the MPW1K atomization energies have a
larger error.  The KMLYP atomization energies are comparable with the
best shown in the paper.  Finally, the MMUE would be the best of all the
methods evaluated.

..............................

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...

  Don Truhlar has just reported another DFT method BB1K. This method outperforms 
his MPW1K method for both barrier height and atomization energy calculations. 
Comparision of BB1K with other DFT methods is reported in 

"Development and assessment of a new hybrid density functional model for
thermochemical kinetics" 
J phys chem A (2004), vol 108 pg 2715--2719 


   I've tested KMLYP in my recent (unpublished) works. Not sure if the method is 
sufficiently reliable for organic radical reactions with near-zero energy barrier.
I found it surprisingly accurate for certain difficult transition metal 
cluster system (cationic gold cluster) though.

Dear CCLs,
I wonder if someone could help me regarding running IRC calculations. I =
want to use a gradient stepsize of 0.05 (amu)1/2 bohr, shall I use =
StepSize=3D5 in this case?. And how I can get many points, say from =
s=3D-2 to s=3D2.5?. Also when I used Maxpoints=3D20, for example with =
this stepSize=3D10 I got only 8 points. But when I use Maxpoints=3D50 =
without specifying stepsize, I got 36 points. Once more, how I can =
calculate frequency at each two or three points?. The Freq keyword =
doesn't work, or doesn't recognized by this version of Gaussian98.
By the way, regarding Truhlar method (JPCA, 1999, 103,1140) for =
correcting energy profiles, that is  called ISPE method (interpolated =
single-point energies). In that method the authors used high energy =
calculations for the stationary points and some selected non-stationary =
points along the MEM. Moreover, shall I select these non-stationary =
points near te TS or the lowest points along the path and carry out SP =
energy calcuations for them at higher levels?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Ahmed

             Nano and Giga Challenges in Microelectronics
           Research and Development Opportunities (NGCM2004)
 
               Cracow, Poland, September 13-17, 2004

Dear Colleagues:
 
We would like to remind you about quickly approaching deadline
(APRIL 15, 2004) for abstract submission to our meeting in Cracow.
This conference covers a broad range of topics relevant to the rapidly
developing field of micro/nano- electronics: theory, experiment, and technology.
 
If you consider coming, note that we have a limited number of prepaid hotel
rooms in different price categories (including very unexpensive
accomodatations). Deadline for reservation and payment is JUNE 30th, 2004.
Hotels are not easy to find during tourist season in Cracow, so arrange for
accommodations early either through organizers, or on your own. Currently
we have registered participants from more than 30 countries.
 
On-line registration, abstract submission, hotel reservation and constantly
updated information are available from the meeting Web site:
http://www.AtomicScaleDesign.Net/ngcm2004 . If you have questions,
which are not adequately answered on the "Frequently Asked Question"
(FAQs) page,  please send us e-mail to: organizers{at}asdn.net or use
the "Send us E-mail" link from meeting Web site.
 
We look forward to seeing you at our next Nano & Giga forum in Cracow!
