What is your project?
The project entailed learning about computational chemistry and using it to study the effect of Al cluster size on H2 bonding. We used IQMol to build molecules and wrote inputs to optimize the geometry of different molecules and calculate energies, Mulliken charges, and Mulliken spin. The final goal was to increase the size of the Al nanoparticle to establish a relationship between Mulliken charge and nanoparticle size. As a team, we’ve learned how to work together to solve problems and make conclusions about our data.
