Reaction barrier and turn over frequency on 55 atom cluster supported on MgO (100)
Prof. Abhishek Singh’s lab in Material Research Centre has used SERC HPC facility in 2017, involving 14.4 million core hours, for computational modelling of materials, especially in applications, where extensive computational resources were required. The main problems solved using this facility include the reaction barrier calculations, discovering novel topological materials and determining their exotic topological properties, calculating GW band gaps, evaluation of the anharmonic contributions to the lattice thermal conductivity of thermoelectric materials, and the determination of polarization of ferroelectric materials.
“Typical execution times using SERC HPC systems were 24 hours or 72 hours. The same task would have taken at least an order of magnitude more time on the local facility”, says Prof. Abhishek.
