Within molecular modeling, understanding the energy and structure of molecules is foundational. But to dive deeper, property calculations enable the prediction of a wide variety of molecular properties. These range from electric and magnetic properties to complex spectral data. Additionally, the raw results of these calculations, often encapsulated in .out files, can be processed further with specialized tools. This post-processing unveils and visualizes a plethora of additional molecular properties, most notably the Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) and Average Localized Ionization Energy […] - [Part 4 - Introduction to Vibrational Frequencies](https://atomistica.online/course-what-is-molecular-modeling/part-4-introduction-to-vibrational-frequencies/): atomistica.online MOLECULAR MODELING COURSE Introduction to Vibrational Frequencies What are Vibrational Frequencies? Molecules are not static entities; they are in constant motion. One of the fundamental types of molecular motion is vibration, where atoms within a molecule oscillate about their equilibrium positions. The rate at which these atoms vibrate is described by vibrational frequencies. These frequencies, typically expressed in wavenumbers (   mathrm{cm^{-1}}  ), provide insight into the nature and strength of bonds within the molecule. Why is it Important? Characterizing Molecules: Vibrational frequencies can be directly compared to experimental infrared (IR) and Raman spectra, allowing for the characterization and identification […] - [Part 3 - Introduction to Geometrical Optimizations](https://atomistica.online/course-what-is-molecular-modeling/part-3-introduction-to-geometrical-optimizations/): atomistica.online MOLECULAR MODELING COURSE Introduction to Geometrical Optimizations What is Geometrical Optimization? Geometrical optimization, often simply called geometry optimization, molecular optimization or relaxation, is the process by which the geometry of a molecule is adjusted to find a structure with the lowest possible energy. This optimized structure typically corresponds to a stable configuration, either a local minimum (a stable species) or a transition state (a high-energy configuration between two stable species). Why is it Important? Determining Stable Configurations: Through geometrical optimization, researchers can predict the most stable structure of a molecule, which is often key to understanding its properties and […] - [Part 2 - Introduction to Single-Point Energy Calculations](https://atomistica.online/course-what-is-molecular-modeling/part-2-introduction-to-single-point-energy-calculations/): atomistica.online MOLECULAR MODELING COURSE Introduction to Single-Point Energy Calculations What is a Single-Point Energy Calculation At the core of the computational modeling of molecular and periodic structures is the desire to understand and predict the behavior of molecules and crystals just by knowing their structure. One of the most fundamental properties of molecules and periodic structures is their energy. A single-point energy calculation provides the total energy of a molecule or periodic structure at a specific geometric arrangement of its atoms without modifying this geometry. Why is it Important? Benchmarking: Before delving into more complex calculations or simulations, researchers often […] - [Part 1 - What is molecular modeling](https://atomistica.online/course-what-is-molecular-modeling/part-1-what-is-molecular-modeling/): atomistica.online Molecular modeling course What is molecular modeling What is molecular modeling? Computational modeling of materials is a cutting-edge branch of science that employs theoretical methods and high-performance computing to understand and predict the behavior of materials. By relying solely on the known structure of a material—whether it’s a discrete molecular system or a periodic structure like a crystal—computational models can provide valuable insights into the material’s properties without the need for experimental tests. Why is it Important? Informed Design: Before synthesizing a new material, researchers can use computational models to predict its properties, ensuring it meets the desired criteria […] - [Choosing the right method](https://atomistica.online/choosing-the-right-method/): Welcome to atomistica.online Articles & Tutorials Choosing the right method Selecting a right level of theory for atomistic calculations is crucial step for computational research of molecules.
