Description Our paper on gating effects in two-dimensional heterostructures (Nature 572, 220 (2019)) has been read 22,000 times and cited by 162 papers. As the first clear demonstration of the effect of electrostatic gating in shifting the fermi level in a 2D material heterostructure, it paved the way to subsequent use of such heterostructures in 2D materials devices.

Title ESTEEM 
Description ESTEEM is a python package designed to interface with the Atomic Simulation Environment, and with several advanced Electronic Structure and Molecular Dynamics codes (specifically NWChem, ONETEP, Amber and AMP), which automate and formalise the process of calculating excitations of complex systems and the modelling of potential energy surfaces by Machine Learning. It makes it relatively "black-box" to perform explicit solvent calculations, which otherwise require a high level of expertise.

Description Dataset accompanying the paper: "Accurate Energy Barriers for Catalytic Reaction Pathways: An Automatic Training Protocol for Machine Learning Force Fields". Contains the training sets curated during active learning as well as .xyz files used for creating the Figures. The paper highlights that the computational efficiency of ML force fields not only results in decreased computational costs for routine catalytic investigations but also facilitates more comprehensive exploration of catalytic pathways.

Impact ONETEP is continually developed and new, updated versions are released on an annual basis. The developments associated with this grant were released during the period of the grant, between 2020 and 2025. It is one of the leading codes of its kind in the world and unique in being sold commercially: in 2004 it was adopted by Accelrys (now Dassault Systemes BIOVIA), a leading scientific software company, and has been one of the flagship products within the Materials Studio suite of software since 2008. An inexpensive academic license is also available worldwide direct from Cambridge Enterprise Ltd. Total revenue from ONETEP to date exceeds £3M from over 200 organisations worldwide. The current projects have added extensive new functionality in the area of theoretical spectroscopy, leading to the ability to describe the angle resolved photoemission spectrum of systems such as 2D material heterostructures, and much more accurate treatments of spin-polarised systems.
