Theoretical Modeling of Valence and Core Spectroscopies of Molecular and Materials Systems in Complex Environments

This is a multi-pronged proposal aimed at theoretical development and modeling of a variety of spectroscopies (UV/Vis, XAS, EELS, NMR, EPR, Raman, Mössbauer). This effort will be a combination of development and application with three thrusts: development of the functionality within the NWChem framework; collaboration with ongoing spectroscopy experiments at EMSL and EMSL users; and exploratory computational experiments to act as a driver for new experiments at EMSL and PNNL.
