MedeA® ‑UNCLE
MedeA-UNiversal CLuster Expansion (UNCLE) expands access to materials and properties at the meso and micro scales.
Maintaining the predictive power and accuracy of ab-initio Density Functional methods, MedeA-UNCLE lets you determine stable multi-component crystal structures and rank metastable structures by enthalpy of formation. Performing VASP ab-initio calculations on automatically chosen sets of small models, MedeA-UNCLE captures the configurational complexity of real materials at different temperatures by means of Monte Carlo random sampling.
MedeA-UNCLE
Performing VASP ab-initio calculations on automatically chosen sets of small models, MedeA-UNCLE captures the configurational complexity of real materials at different temperatures by means of Monte Carlo random sampling. Tight integration with job control in MedeA guarantees stability and fault tolerance. Graphical tools monitor progress of fully automated simulations and allow a ready-for-use visualization of results.
