铁基块体非晶合金-纳米晶转变的动力学模拟过程Discover模块1 原子力场的分配在使用Discover模块建立基于力场的计算中,涉及几个步骤。
主要有:选择力场、指定原子类型、计算或指定电荷、选择non-bond cutoffs。
在这些步骤中,指定原子类型和计算电荷一般是自动执行的。
然而,在某些情形下需要手动指定原子类型。
原子定型使用预定义的规则对结构中的每个原子指定原子类型。
在为特定的系统确定能量和力时,定型原子使工作者能使用正确的力场参数。
通常,原子定型由Discover使用定型引擎的基本规则来自动执行,所以不需要手动原子定型。
然而,在特殊情形下,人们不得不手动的定型原子,以确保它们被正确地设置。

MS软件常见问题及解决办法1、问:用MS构造晶体时要先确立空间群,可是那些空间群的代码是啥意思啊,看不懂,我想做的是聚乙烯醇的晶体,嘿嘿,也不知道去哪可以查到它的空间群答:A、要做晶体,首先要查询晶体数据,然后利用晶体数据再建立模型。
晶体数据来源主要是文献,或者一些数据库,比如CCDC。
你都不知道这个晶体是怎么样的,怎么指定空间群呢?要反过来做事情哦:)B、我不知道你指示的代码是数字代码还是字母代码,数字代码它对应了字母的代码,而字母的代码它含盖了一些群论的知识(晶系,对称操作等),如果要具体了解你的物质或者材料属于那一个群,你可以查阅一下相关的手册,当然你要了解一些基本的群论知识.MS自带了一些材料的晶体结构,你可以查询一下.2、问:各位高手,我用ms中的castep进行运算。
无论cpu是几个核心,它只有一个核心在工作。
这个怎么解决呢?答:请先确认以下几个问题:1,在什么系统下装,是否装了并行版本。
2,计算时设置参数的地方是否选择了并行。
3,程序运算时,并不是时时刻刻都要用到多个CPU3、问:我已经成功地安装了MS3.1的Linux版本,串行的DMol3可以成功运行。
但是运行并行的时候出错。
机器是双Xeon5320(四核)服务器,rsh和rlogin均开启,RHEL4.6系统。
其中hosts.equiv的内容如下:localhostibm-consolemachines.LINUX的内容如下:localhost:8现在运行RunDMol3.sh时,脚本停在$MS_INSTALL_ROOT/MPICH/bin/mpirun $nolocal -np $nproc $MS_INSTALL_ROOT/DMol3/bin/dmol3_mpi.exe $rootname$DMOL3_DATA这一处,没法执行这一命令并行运算时,出现以下PIxxxx(x为数字)输出ibm-console 0 /home/www/MSI/MS3.1/DMol3/bin/dmol3_mpi.exelocalhost 3 /home/www/MSI/MS3.1/DMol3/bin/dmol3_mpi.exe请问这是什么原因?谢谢!答:主要是rsh中到ibm-console的没有设置把/etc/hosts改为127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ibm-console在后面加个ibm-console也希望对大家有帮助!4、问:在最后结果的dos图中,会显示不同电子spd的贡献,我想问的是,假设MS考虑的原子Mg的电子组态为2p6 3s2,那么最后的dos结果中的s,p是不是就是2p,跟3s的贡献.比如更高能量的3p是否可能出现在dos中?如果可能的话,在这种情况下,如何区分2p和3p的贡献,谢谢.答:A、取决于你的餍势势里面没有3p电子,DOS怎么会有呢?自然,你的1p1s也不会出现在你的DOS中。

申请博物馆志愿者的英语作文高中全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Application to be a Museum VolunteerHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 16 years old. I really, really want to be a volunteer at our city's awesome Museum of Natural History this summer. Let me tell you why!First off, I absolutely LOVE museums! Whenever my parents take me to one, I get so excited. There's just something magical about seeing all those cool exhibits with the ancient artifacts, dinosaur bones, gemstones, and animals from around the world. It's like stepping into another world or back in time. My favorite is definitely the dinosaur hall - I mean, how amazing is it that those giant skeletons used to be real living, breathing animals?! I could stare at them for hours.Another reason I want to volunteer is because I'm really into science. You could say I'm a total science nerd! I especially love learning about fossils, rocks, animals, and nature. At school, science is my favorite class. I always get good grades and my teacher tells me I ask great questions. I'm constantly readingscience books and watching documentaries. Working at a natural history museum would be like a dream come true - I'd get to be around science exhibits and learn new things every single day!Most importantly though, I think volunteering at the museum would be an awesome way to spend my summer vacation. Can you imagine how cool it would be to actually work there instead of just visiting? As a volunteer, I could give tours and talk to visitors about all the exhibits. I'm a pretty friendly kid and I definitely don't mind public speaking. It would be so much fun to share my enthusiasm and knowledge about science and nature with other people who are interested in it too!I could help out with kid's programs and activities, which sounds like a blast. Maybe I could even dress up as a dinosaur mascot - rawr! How hilarious would that be? The museum staff probably need a hand with setting up new exhibits too. I may be small but I'm pretty handy and good at following directions. I'm willing to do whatever is needed, even if it's just straightening up the gift shop or running errands.In school, we recently learned about giving back to the community through volunteer work. The museum is such an important place for learning and culture in our city. Byvolunteering there, I'd be doing my part to make it an even better place for everyone who visits. It would make me feel really good inside to help out somewhere so meaningful to me and my community. Who knows, maybe I'll discover I have a talent for museum work and it could turn into a career! An elementary schooler can dream, right?So that's why I really, really, REALLY want to volunteer at the natural history museum this summer. I know I'm just a kid, but I promise to work super hard and be as helpful as possible. I've been counting down the days until summer break and waiting to apply for ages. This would be the most awesome way for me to spend my vacation ever! Pretty pleeeeease pick me to be a museum volunteer - I'll do my best to make you proud. Thanks for considering me!Whew, writing this application sure made me tired. I'm going to go take a nap now and dream about hanging out with the dinosaurs. Roar!篇2My Love for Museums and Why I Want to VolunteerHi there! My name is Michael and I'm 15 years old. I absolutely love going to museums. There's just something socool about seeing all the amazing things from long ago on display. Whenever my parents would take me to a museum as a kid, I would get super excited!I still remember the first time I went to a really big museum - it was the Natural History Museum in New York City when I was 8 years old. We went on a family trip there during summer vacation. As soon as we walked in, I was in awe! The huge dinosaur skeletons towering over me, the dioramas with all the stuffed animals looking so life-like, the giant whale model hanging from the ceiling. It was seriously the coolest place ever to my 8-year-old self.I kept asking my parents a million questions about everything I was seeing. "How old is that dinosaur skeleton? What kind of dinosaur is that? How did they figure out what colors to make the animals?" My parents probably got a little annoyed with all my endless questions, but I just couldn't help being so curious about it all!We spent the entire day there exploring every single exhibit.I remember feeling so sad when we had to leave at the end of the day. On the way home in the car, I told my parents "When I grow up, I want to work at a museum! That was the funnest place ever!" Yeah, funnest isn't a real word, but you know what I mean!Ever since then, museums have been one of my biggest passions and interests. Whenever we would go on family vacations, I would always beg my parents to take me to whatever museums were in the area we visited. I've been to so many awesome ones - from art museums with famous paintings and sculptures to museums all about science, technology, and space exploration.Each one has something unique and fascinating to offer. At art museums, I'm just in awe at the incredible talent and creativity that went into creating beautiful works of art hundreds of years ago. And science museums are always so much fun with all the interactive exhibits to explore and learn about how things work. I could spend hours upon hours in any type of museum just taking in all the incredible displays and reading every single information panel to learn as much as I can.What really sparked my deep love for museums though was when my grandpa started taking me to small local history museums near where he lived. These little museums didn't have huge dinosaur skeletons or famous works of art, but they gave me a peek into what life was like in that specific area long ago. Seeing the tools, clothing, furniture, and personal belongingsfrom centuries past really brought history to life for me in a way textbooks just can't.My grandpa would spend hours with me at these local museums listening to me read all the background information panels and then asking me questions about what I had learned to quiz my knowledge. He also loved telling me extra stories and anecdotes he knew related to the historical artifacts and time periods on display. Looking back now, those experiences with my grandpa are some of my most cherished childhood memories.I have so much appreciation for how museums work to preserve pieces of history, art, culture, and human achievement for future generations. They stand as reminders of where we came from and how far we've come. To me, every object on display at a museum tells a story just waiting to be discovered and learned about. That's why I have such a profound love and respect for museums.This passion is a huge part of why I really want to become a volunteer at my local art museum. For the last few years, I've attended pretty much every traveling exhibit, lecture, and special event they've held. The staff there probably thinks I'm crazy because I'm always one of the first people in line to get tickets!Whenever I'm at the museum, I just can't help but soak in all the amazing art and artifacts on display like a sponge soaking up water.My favorite part is reading all the little info plaques next to each piece to learn its background - who created it, what materials and techniques were used, the time period it's from, the inspirations and meaning behind it. I have so much appreciation for the artistic storytelling each work represents.Some kids my age think museums are boring, dusty old buildings. But not me! I just love the quiet serenity of the museum atmosphere. It's like being in another world away from the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life. When I'm there, I can slow down and really immerse myself in examining and appreciating each exceptional work in a way you just can't by quickly glancing at pictures in a textbook.That's why being a museum volunteer would be such an incredible experience for me. I want to be surrounded by that amazing atmosphere and priceless art on a regular basis. I'll finally have the chance to go behind-the-scenes and get a closer look at how museums operate and care for their collections. I can spend as much time as I want studying and taking in every little detail of the artwork. And maybe, I can inspire other kids todevelop the same appreciation I have for the preservation of art and history.Most importantly though, I really want to learn absolutely everything I can from the museum's experts - the curators, historians, artists, archeologists and others who have devoted their careers to collecting and understanding these invaluable pieces of work. I'm like a supernova of unquenchable curiosity just waiting to absorb as much knowledge as I possibly can!I can't even put into words how grateful and honored I would feel to get the chance to volunteer with professionals who have such specialized expertise and who share my passion for celebrating the past in this way. Getting advice, guidance, and wisdom from them would be a true gift. Who knows, maybe I'll even discover my own calling is to have a career in the museum field someday!I know I'm just a kid and all, but I can absolutely assure you that I don't take the opportunity to volunteer lightly at all. You have my word that I would treat every task and assignment with the utmost care and responsibility, no matter how big or small. I'll listen closely, follow all the rules, and work as hard as I possibly can because it would mean that much to me.More than anything, I want to show how much I love and value what your museum stands for. I may be young, but I'm endlessly eager to learn and gain first-hand experience in any way I can. This volunteer role would allow me to turn my childhood passion into something enriching and productive. What could be better than that?So that's why I'm applying to be a volunteer - because of my sincere wonder and amazement at the incredible works you have on display and my burning desire to learn from your staff's vast knowledge and expertise. I may just be a kid, but my appreciation for the arts and human history runs deeper than the deepest ocean trench! This isn't just a school requirement or something to pass the time for me. Your museum and its mission are a true passion that I hope to play a small role in someday.Well thanks for letting me share why I feel so compelled to volunteer at your wonderful museum. I really appreciate you taking the time to consider my application. I completely understand if I'm too young or inexperienced compared to other candidates. But I promise that if given the chance, you won't find a volunteer with more enthusiasm and genuine care for your museum's vision than me! Maybe you can mold me into a greatmuseum worker from an early age. Who knows? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!篇3My Love for Museums and Why I Want to VolunteerHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm a high school student who is completely museum-obsessed. For as long as I can remember, I've loved visiting museums and learning about new topics through their amazing exhibits and collections. That's why I'm writing this essay to apply to be a volunteer at the City Museum of Art and History.I still remember my very first museum trip when I was just a little kid. My parents took me to the Natural History Museum and I was in total awe of the huge dinosaur skeletons and ancient artifacts on display. The museum seemed like a magical place full of wonders and mysteries waiting to be uncovered. I spent hours reading every single plaque and sign, trying to soak up as much information as my little brain could hold.From then on, I was hooked. Any chance we had to visit a new museum, you better believe I was the first one in the car, backpack stuffed with snacks and drinks for the journey. Whether it was an art museum, a children's museum, a sciencecenter, or a living history village, I loved them all. I was endlessly fascinated learning about different cultures, time periods, scientific discoveries, and creative works.My museum obsession really kicked into high gear in middle school when I joined the school's Museum Club. It was a group of fellow museum lovers who came together to explore local institutions and even put on our own mini-exhibits. We went on tons of field trips and I helped curate a cool exhibit about outer space using models, games, and artifacts from the club members' collections. It was such an amazing experience to be behind-the-scenes and see how museums are put together.Which brings me to why I'm hoping to become a volunteer at your museum. Quite simply, I love museums with every fiber of my being and want to become more involved in any way I can. Your museum's incredible collection of art, historical artifacts, and interactive exhibits related to our city's past and present are right up my alley. I would be honored to support your mission of educating the community through immersive and enlightening museum experiences.As a volunteer, I will bring my enthusiasm, responsibility, and eagerness to learn. You can count on me to be on-time, follow all rules and instructions, and treat visitors and staff with kindnessand respect. While I may be young, I have regularly volunteered at my school's library and various community events, so I understand what it takes to be a helpful and hardworking volunteer. I'm not afraid to take on any task, whether it's assisting with children's programs, giving tours, working at the front desk, or helping set up/take down exhibits.Most importantly, I will bring my deep appreciation and genuine interest in the museum's content and educational mission. You'll never catch me sneakily looking at my phone or being apathetic - I'll be fully engaged and eager to learn something new every single day. I love talking to people about topics I'm passionate about, so I'll strive to create an engaging, enjoyable experience for visitors. My enthusiasm is contagious!Beyond just volunteering, I hope to gain meaningful experience that could help shape my future career path. While I'm still a little unsure of exactly what I want to do, I know I want it to involve museums, art, history, culture, or education in some way. By volunteering now, I'll get an inside look at how museums operate and the different roles involved. I can explore potential job opportunities and figure out what path is the best fit for my aspirations. Who knows, I may even decide to become a museum curator, archivist, educator, or director someday!In the meantime, I'll continue devouring every book, documentary, and podcast I can find about museums, their collections, and the important roles they play in society. For example, I was completely fascinated by the story of how the Louvre worked to secretly evacuate works from the museum during World War II to protect them from the Nazis. I've also watched museum renovation shows with great interest, seeing how new technology and modern architecture can revitalize older institutions. I'm constantly in awe of the creativity and care that goes into designing exciting new exhibits to educate the public on a variety of topics.I know volunteering at a museum requires hard work, dedication, and a commitment to constantly learning new things. Luckily, those are some of my biggest strengths! I'm a diligent student who isn't afraid to go the extra mile on assignments and projects I care about. Thanks to my insatiable curiosity and love of research, I'll enthusiastically take it upon myself to learn everything I can about your museum's collections, exhibits, and operations. I'll study up in advance so I can be as knowledgeable and helpful as possible when interacting with visitors.Most importantly, I'll bring a positive, friendly attitude with a big smile on my face. A huge part of what makes museumsspecial is the ability to spark conversations, human interactions, and sharing of knowledge between people. As a volunteer, I'll aim to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where visitors feel comfortable asking questions, sharing their own insights, and immersing themselves in the wonders of the museum. My energy and joy will hopefully be contagious and inspire others to appreciate the valuable role museums play.In conclusion, I may be young, but my passion for museums burns brighter than a thousand suns. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to share my enthusiasm and assist your museum in any way I can as a volunteer. More than anything, I want to contribute to an institution that sparks curiosity, learning, and amazing experiences for all who walk through its doors. I would be eternally grateful for the chance to be part of the museum magic!。

Application of Materials Studio Modeling in Crystal Structure Xiaohong Fan1, Bin Xu1, Yong Xu1,2,a, Jing Li1, Lei Shi1, Fuming Wang2and Junpin Lin2,b1 School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China2 State Key Laboratory for Advanced Metals and Materials, University of Science and TechnologyBeijing, Beijing 100083, Chinaa xuyong2612@,b linjunpin@Keywords:Modeling, MS, crystal structure, material science curriculumAbstract. Modeling of crystal structure in material science curriculum was practiced and applied to keep it simple and understandable by using MS. The unit cells and atomic configurations are produced to show the theory system of geometry description of crystal structure. Many examples, as diamond, graphite, nanomaterial and advanced carbon materials, are employed to describe the main application of MS in material science teaching. According to these atomic modeling configurations, crystal structures exhibit a clearly and understandable appearance for us. So, the meaning of learning and understanding the related parameters of geometry description of crystal structure was explored with the point which helped students to realize and master the abstract concepts of crystal structure.IntroductionCrystal structures of related materials were important composition of materials science curriculum and they are also the significant basis to realize the physical properties of the materials[1-3]. However, during teaching the crystal structure contents in course, it is difficult to well describe the characteristics of unit cells and atomic structures, such as the space group, symmetry, Wyckoff Positions, and so on[4]. That is because that the study of crystal structure needs large basic theories, including lots of abstract mathematic theorems, which can not be clearly understood[5]. People needs to share more time to study the crystallography theories and the rule of atomic arrangement in crystal structures[6]. It is important to develop and build a space imagination ability to visualize the atom position in three-dimension (3D) space, helping to deeply comprehend the actual crystalline structure[4, 7, 8]. Two methods are employed to describe the crystal structures for students[4]. Firstly, we need to build the models manually by metallic or plastic balls, exhibiting the real objects. Secondly, we introduce lots of 3D graphs and animate objects into our courseware to describe relative concepts and rules lively and clearly. However, there are no enough real object for us to exhibit and carry with, especially for the complicated structures, which is difficult to be constructed and will consume large time. Then, it is convenient and easy for us to employ the 3D graph and animate object for describing the intricate crystal structures. For material science field, MS is a famous software to construct and simulate crystal structures[4, 7, 8]. MS Modeling dramatically increases the accessibility of computational materials science[9-11]. It delivers powerful methods to chemists, materials scientists, and engineers in a flexible and easy-to-use environment. It makes it straightforward to communicate ideas related to materials structure and properties and to solve critical problems in the chemicals and materials industries. So, it is convenient and easy for us to build a relative atomic structure model by MS. In this work, several configurations are built for exhibiting the geometry and symmetry of crystal structures, as well as some other crystallography theories, to arouse the enthusiasm and interest of students.MS Modeling Software[12]MS Modeling is a flexible client-server software environment that possesses some of the world's most advanced materials simulation and modeling technology, developed by Accelrys® Software, Inc. MS Modeling allows you to easily create and study models of molecular structures, exploiting stunning graphics capabilities to present your results. Integration with standard PC productivity tools facilitates communication of these data. MS Modeling draws on well-validated and widely applied simulation methods from the leader in high quality materials simulation software. Accelrys' comprehensive range of software combines quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics, mesoscale modeling, analytical instrument simulation, and statistical correlations in to one easy-to-use modeling environment. These techniques are supported by unrivalled structure-building and visualization capabilities and tools to analyze and present scientific data.In this work, we employ the graphical user environment of MS - Materials Studio Visualizer (version 4.0) - as the main configuration construction software, in which researchers can construct, manipulate and view models of molecules, crystalline materials, surfaces, polymers, and mesoscale structures. Materials Studio Visualizer is complemented by a complete set of solution methods including quantum, atomistic (or “classical”), mesoscale, and statistical that enable researchers to evaluate materials at various particle sizes and time scales. It also includes tools for evaluating crystal structure and crystal growth.Atomic Model ConstructionSeveral ways can be used to obtain crystal model in MS as we have the detail information of crystal structure. The information and parameters of crystal structure can be inquired from references, as Acta Crystallographica, or from the software, as Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD). From these websites or softwares, we can export the crystallographic information files, as the .cif file, which can be directly imported into MS to obtain the atomic model graph. On the other hand, MS also contains lots of common structures, which can be directly imported by the command.It needs several parameters for constructing a crystal structure, as:(1)Lattice parameters (or Unit cell constants), such as a, b, c, α, β, γ;(2)Space group of this crystal structure, or space group number;(3)Atomic position of unit cell, as x, y, z and atom type.Here, we select the diamond, graphite, nanorope and fullerite as the example to exhibit the atomic models. The process of model construction is illustrated below for diamond: Firstly, we get the structural parameters of diamond structure, as listed in Table 1. Then, opening the MS software and find ‘Build’ button on menu. Using ‘Build Crystal’ button to build a relative crystal box in MS. The structure information, as space group number and lattice parameters, should be added in manually, as shown in Table 1. After the crystal box building, atoms can be added through position values (x, y, z), respectively. Completely constructed model, as shown in Fig. 1, exhibits perfect diamond unit cell. Similar with the procedure of diamond construction, complicated model also can be build in MS, forming the regular crystal structure, as shown in Fig. 2. These structure model can easily and clearly describe the characteristic of these complicated crystal unit cells, arousing the enthusiasm and interest of students.Besides the common illustrating function, MS also can be operated to change the view angle and atom appearance, as shown in Fig. 3. For this reason, we can use MS to analysis and describe the different characteristic of different crystal plane by changing the view angle. This function isimportant for describing the crystal orientation and plane by changing and rotating the 3D atomic models. Fig. 3(a) shows the common 3D side view, while Fig. 3(b) shows the atom packing characteristic of (0001) plane as the hexagon.Table 1 Structural parameters of diamond[13].Structural Type Parameters Unit Cell3.5668 3.5668 3.5668 90 90 90 Space GroupF d -3 m S SG Number227 PearsoncF8 Wyckoffa Position: Atom# OX SITE x y z SOF Atom Type: C 1 +0 8 a 0 0 0 1.Fig. 1 Atomic unit cell of diamond.Fig. 2 Atomic structure model of (a) fullerite and (b) nanorope.Fig. 3 Atomic structure model of graphite.

These atom unit cells can be edited and optimized easily, bringing great convenient and well appearance of the crystal structure. With these good looking and easily understandable atom model, it can dramatically promoting the effectiveness in studying crystal structures. It arouses the enthusiasm and interest of the students.AcknowledgementThis work was supported by State Key Lab of Advanced Metals and Materials, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Nos. 51101093).Reference[1] Y.
