The Materials Computation Center (MCC) provides a facility for education and research on materials computational analysis and simulation for MRSEC researchers and the broader materials community. It is designed to function as a hub to connect experimental and computational activities through the organization of collaborative projects, short courses and workshops. For the MRSEC experimentalist, the MCC can provide the information needed to add a simulation component to their work. For groups already working on materials simulation research, the MCC is a natural environment for interaction and extension of existing techniques. The MCC provides users with access to hardware and software, as well as consulting.

Instrumentation:   

Software provided by the MCC currently includes electronic structure and total energy codes like VASP, WIEN2k, GAMESS, Gaussian03, Cache, NWChem, and CPMD.
