What problem does it solve?

Expert guidance for using the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) to build structures, set up calculators, run geometry optimizations and molecular dynamics, and analyze results with automation patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structure Building: create molecules, surfaces, bulk crystals, and nanoparticles.
  • Calculator Setup: attach EMT, VASP, GPAW, QE, and other calculators.
  • Dynamics & Optimization: geometry optimization, MD, and NEB workflows.
  • Analysis & Automation: extract energies, forces, trajectories; automate high-throughput scripts.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to build a Pt(111) surface, add CO as adsorbate, attach an EMT calculator, and run a quick relaxation.
