| Description | The efficient implementation, porting and distribution of the CRYSTAL software for the HPCx and ARCHER massively parallel computers. Two discoveries that have application in efficient information processing through spintronics. The discovery of vacancy migration mechanisms in graphene and its use to generate a high temperature semiconducting magnetic phase. The discovery of high temperature antiferromagnetism in a molecular semiconductor thin film. The development of a new model of grain boundary diffusion in ceramic films that will be applied to the modelling of corrosion. A detailed understanding of the decomposition of solar cell materials - perovskite MA-halides - in queues environments A model of the BiVO heterojunction. |
| Exploitation Route | The advances in first principles software will be used in 1000+ commercial and academic research groups world wide in projects involving chemistry, physics, materials and earth sciences and biology. The discoveries of organic, semiconductors with ordered magnetic states at room temperature are fundamental advances that may find application in future systems for digital information storage and processing. |
