Zacros (30 day commercial evaluation)

Product Specification

Zacros 2.01 is a Kinetic Monte Carlo software package written in Fortran 2003, for simulating molecular phenomena on catalytic surfaces

Description

The tool enables the first-principles prediction of catalytic performance metrics, such as activity and selectivity, as well as other experimental observables, such as the structure of adlayer phases or temperature desorption spectra. It employs the Graph-Theoretical KMC methodology coupled with cluster expansion Hamiltonians for the adlayer energetics, which can naturally capture:

•    steric exclusion effects for species that bind in more than one catalytic sites,
•    complex reaction patterns involving adsorbates in specific binding configurations and neighbouring patterns,
•    spatial correlations and ordering arising from adsorbate lateral interactions that involve many-body contributions.

Zacros features an easy-to-learn keyword-based language for defining a KMC simulation, and can be run in “debugging” mode, thereby generating detailed output that can be used for efficient troubleshooting. The package comes with a manual, as well as exemplar input/output files.
