In this workshop, we will provide insights into NOMAD’s approach to structuring data and metadata and continue with hands-on experience creating and managing ELN (Electronic Lab Notebook) entries for samples, measurements, and experiments. We will also introduce you to the advanced filters embedded in NOMAD and create interactive dashboards and visualizations to explore the vast amount of published data within NOMAD. You will need a laptop to participate in the interactive part of the workshop.

 

  • NOMAD II - Tailoring RDM with NOMAD to your needs

This workshop will explore how the NOMAD platform can be tailored to specific RDM needs. The workshop is built around a Jupyter Notebook, exploring how schemas, parsers, and apps can be built in Python to customize a NOMAD installation. The notebook will be available online; you only need a laptop and basic Python knowledge.

FAIRmat Tutorial 15: Use of pynxtools with Examples from Optical Spectroscopy
Tutorial
DATE: October 16, 2024 TIME: 13:00-16:00 CEST
LOCATION: Online

The FAIRmat Tutorial 15 will address the necessity of FAIR research data management when working with experimental data in materials science. FAIRmat provides NOMAD to the scientific community as a platform specifically developed for this purpose.

NOMAD integrates the NeXus Ontology based on the NeXus community standard. The NeXus standard has been significantly expanded over the years and now includes a comprehensive range of metadata definitions, making it applicable to various experimental techniques used in materials science.

FAIRmat, in collaboration with the scientific community and technology partners, has developed pynxtools. These software tools simplify the conversion of experimental data and metadata according to the community standard, making it easy to integrate experimental data into NOMAD.

This tutorial will cover using the pynxtools and how such datasets are managed within NOMAD. To demonstrate the functionality of pynxtools in combination with NOMAD, we will use ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy data as examples.

The main topics to be covered are:

  • FAIR research data management
  • NeXus data modelling
  • Data conversion and verification using pynxtools
  • Data management with NOMAD

Tutorial
DATE: July 10, 2024 TIME: 13:00-16:00 CEST
LOCATION: Online

NOMAD is an open-source, community-driven data infrastructure, focusing on materials science data. Originally built as a repository for data from DFT calculations, the NOMAD software can automatically extract data from the output of a large variety of simulation codes. Our previous computation-focused tutorials (CECAM workshop, Tutorial 10, and Tutorial 7) have highlighted the extension of NOMAD’s functionalities to support advanced many-body calculations, classical molecular dynamics simulations, and complex simulation workflows.

But how can you utilize this infrastructure and associated suite of tools if your simulation code or method is not yet supported? This tutorial will provide foundational knowledge for customizing NOMAD to fit the specific needs of your computational research project. The following provides an outline of the major topics that will be covered:

  • Introduction to the NOMAD software and repository
  • Working with the NOMAD-Simulations schema plugin
  • Extending NOMAD-Simulations to support custom methods and outputs
  • Creating parser plugins from scratch
  • Extra: Interfacing complex simulation and analysis workflows with NOMAD

Geometric Density Functional Theory

 

Geometric Density Functional Theory is an attempt to directly compute the universal energy functional and its (functional) derivatives from the solution of an optimization problem in which the electronic density is kept constant.  The process can be described as "finding the ground-state of an electron gas of prescribed density". In this approach the target density is established and maintained through a geometric deformation of the original coordinates.

SPEAKER(S): Matthew Newville
LOCATION: Karlsruhe and online

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) gives unique information about the chemical state of materials. Highquality XAS data requires well-prepared samples and access to valuable synchrotron beamlines or state-ofthe-art laboratory sources, XAS data is a rare and valuable commodity. Well-maintained databases of XAS spectra on both standard reference materials and samples then become important for the synchrotron and scientific communities, both for individual researchers and for automated machine-learning methods. Enabling the automated use of spectral libraries requires curated and documented formats and metadata fields for the spectral data. I will present existing XAS spectral libraries and formats, and report on progress from a Working Group from the XAFS community towards standardizing metadata and defining specifications for both plain text and NeXuS/HDF5 formats for XAS data.

Silicon Carbide as Quantum-Classical Platform - 75th Anniversary of the Chair of Applied Physics of FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
Symposium
DATE: September 14-15, 2023
LOCATION: Erlangen, Germany

Silicon carbide (SiC) has developed into a high-performance semiconductor technology in recent years. This goes hand in hand with excellent monocrystalline wafer material and continuously improving process technology as well as understanding of SiC’s fundamental material and device physics. However, SiC and its derived materials, epitaxial graphene and SiC’s point defects, have much more to offer: Due to unrivaled material parameters, SiC has also the potential for unprecedented functionalities in the realm of photonics on a chip, highest-Q mechanics and quantum-technology oriented spin physics. This vast design space, which opens up scope for new experiments and technologies, is yet to be explored.

In this scientific symposium, we will pick up this trail and discuss the possibilities of combining electronics, optics, mechanics and spin physics to create a platform for combined quantum and classical functionality.

The symposium simultaneously celebrates the 75th anniversary of FAU’s Chair of Applied Physics with its significant and long-lasting contribution to the development of today’s SiC material platform and technology.

This tutorial aims to introduce participants to the new plugin mechanism in NOMAD and teach them how to develop and integrate their own Python schemas and parsers to a NOMAD Oasis. Plugins enable you to alter how NOMAD processes data and therefore allow for more powerful customisations than the custom schemas presented in past tutorials. Participants will learn how to enable the conversion of new materials science data formats into NOMAD's standardised and machine-readable format. NOMAD plugins can be contributed to the community to further promote reproducibility and transparency in materials science.

Modeling Materials at Realistic Space and Time Scales via Optimal Exploitation of Exascale Computers and Artificial Intelligence
Workshop and tutorial
DATE: July 25-29, 2022
LOCATION: Berlin, IRIS Adlershof

This flagship workshop and associated hands-on tutorial school will focus on recent important developments, addressing exascale computing and artificial intelligence (AI) methods with a specific focus on urgent topics for materials science.

The workshop hence aims at updating the audience about new and upcoming possibilities. For this, we will have lectures from top HPC centers from Europe, USA and Japan. In particular, we will address how exascale computing can help materials modeling in terms of higher accuracy and precision, and more controlled scale bridging. We will also discuss advancements of AI methods and exascale workflows.

Quantum Chemistry Methods for Materials Science
Workshop
DATE: June 8-10, 2022
LOCATION: CECAM-HQ-EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

The central goal of the workshop is to discuss the state of the art and challenges of using quantum chemistry methods in materials science, to share the recent progresses in quantum chemistry, and to deepen the coalescence of two communities: molecular quantum-chemistry and solid state physics.

In addition, this workshop will focus on the computer implementation of massive parallel algorithms to perform quantum chemical calculations on modern supercomputers. This workshop will bring together some of the world's leading experts in the development of massively parallel algorithms for quantum chemistry calculations to foster cooperation and catalyze scientific software innovation.
