Tools for Block Polymer Materials Discovery

Glenn H. Fredrickson and Kevin D. Dorfman

As part of this project, the PIs have developed a version of the Polymer Self-Consistent Field (PSCF) software package that incorporates GPU acceleration. This new version of the PSCF software package, currently the only open-source code for solving the self-consistent field theory (SCFT) equations for block polymers, achieves up to a 60x improvement in speed over the previous CPU-based code.

Broadening Participation in Electronic Materials Research through Knowledge and Data Exchange

In collaboration with DMR-1729489, we are working to deliver an open data/software ecosystem by disseminating broadly research data through the Metals and Insulators through Structural Tuning (MIST) website hosted on data.world. Both open and private repositories of data and code are accessible to team members and general community users.
