#Materials studio software installation software
Adsorption Locator identifies possible adsorption configurations by carrying out Monte Carlo searches of the configurational space of the substrate-adsorbate system as the temperature is slowly decreased.įurther Information For more information about the Materials Studio and other BIOVIA software products, visit BIOVIA Support on the Web: Adsorbates are typically molecular gases or liquids and substrates are usually porous crystals or surfaces, such as zeolites or carbon nanotubes, or amorphous structures, such as silica gel or activated carbon. Adsorption Locator is designed for the study of individual systems, allowing you to find low energy adsorption sites on both periodic and nonperiodic substrates or to investigate the preferential adsorption of mixtures of adsorbate components, for example.
