SCD Theoretical and Computational Physics

Theoretical and Computational Physics

At the SCD we work on the development and application of computational methods for studying materials at the atomic scale, implementing new technologies and modelling a variety of physical processes. Our work has applications in all these fields

Catalysis
Materials Science
Our scientists use a variety of computational methods to study the composition and behaviour of materials, and help to discover and design new materials.
Models for Muon-Spin relaxation Experiments
Nuclear Fusion
Study of Anti-Cancer Drugs
Working alongside the Central Laser Facility, the Scientific Computing Department have been studying the anti-cancer drug Combretastatin A4 (CA4) to maximise the efficiency of its use.
