(Size-modified) Poisson-Boltzmann implicit solvation module in FHI-aims – (S)MPBE
Implicit solvation techniques have become the method of choice in many areas of research, such as biochemistry, electrochemistry or colloid chemistry. The size-modified Poisson-Boltzmann implicit solvation module in the all-electron DFT code FHI-aims enables to account for the presence of solvent and possibly ions in conventional DFT calculations. The table sums up the currently supported features. For more information, the FHI-aims user manual provides a detailed documentation. The module is implemented in the current version of FHI-aims, for any support, feel free to contact one of the members below.
