 *MSSC2018---London - Ab initio Modelling in Solid State Chemistry *
 London Edition (New Users)
 Discovering quantum-mechanical simulations with CRYSTAL
 http://www.imperial.ac.uk/mssc2018
 London (UK), September 17-21, 2018
 Directors: L. Bernasconi - N.M. Harrison - G. Mallia
 The Department of Chemistry and the Thomas Young Centre at Imperial College
 London and the Computational Materials Science Group of the Science and
 Technology Facilities Council (STFC), in collaboration with the Theoretical
 Chemistry Group of the University of Torino, are organizing the 2018 MSSC
 Summer School on the "ab initio modelling of crystalline and defective
 solids with the CRYSTAL code".
 The week long school is designed for new users of CRYSTAL, PhD students,
 Post-Docs and researchers with interests in solid state chemistry,
 physics, materials science, surface science, catalysis, magnetism
 and nano-science. It will provide an introduction to the capabilities
 of quantum mechanical simulations and to the practical use of CRYSTAL.
 CRYSTAL is a general-purpose program for the study of periodic solids.
 It uses a local basis set comprised of Gaussian type functions and can be
 used to perform calculations at the Hartree-Fock, density functional or
 global and range-separated hybrid functionals (e.g. B3LYP, HSE06), double
 hybrid levels of theory.
 Analytical first derivatives with respect to the nuclear coordinates and
 cell parameters and analytical derivatives, up to fourth order, with respect
 to an applied electric field (CPHF/CPKS) are available.
 The programme is now available:
