CCP9 is the Collaborative Computational Project for the Study of the Electronic Structure of Condensed Matter.

The field includes the study of metals, semiconductors, magnets, and superconductors from microscopic quantum mechanical calculations. The activities of CCP9 encompass such highly topical areas as magneto-electronics (GMR, CMR, spin-transistors), photonics, nano-technology, high-temperature superconductors and magnetocalorics.

CCP9 provides a network which connects UK research groups in electronic structure, facilitates UK participation in the larger European Psi-k Network and supports a number of cutting edge computational codes.

News

  • IOP Computational Physics Group Annual PhD Thesis Prize 2018

    The Committee of the Institute of Physics Computational Group offers an annual thesis prize for the author of the PhD thesis that, in the opinion of the Committee, contributes most strongly to the advancement of computational physics. Runner-up prizes may also be awarded; Prize winners will be invited to write a feature article in the Computational Physics Group newsletter. Applications for the 2018 prize are encouraged across the entire spectrum of computational physics. Entry is open to all students from an institution in the UK or Ireland, whose PhD examination has taken place since 1st January 2017 and up to the deadline for submissions. Deadline is 30th April 2018

Visitors

As part of the CCP9 visitor programme, Prof Graeme Henkelman of the university of Texas in Austin will be in the UK sometime in May or June this year (exact dates to be confirmed). Graeme has been instrumental in developing a number of techniques used by our community e.g. the nudged elastic band and dimer methods for energy barrier calculations and a Bader charge analysis method. If any member of the CCP9 community would like to host Graeme during this time could they please contact Roger Smith R.Smith@lboro.ac.uk at Loughborough University who is hosting the visit. Travel epenses from Loughborough and any overnight local stay are expected to be borne by the host university.
