Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around generating ideas for a quick computational project in physical chemistry, specifically using Spartan P-Chem software. The focus is on finding a project that aligns closely with physics concepts, such as energy levels and potential wells.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant seeks project ideas that connect physical chemistry with physics, mentioning topics like energy levels and particle in a box.
- Another participant questions the lack of responses regarding the use of Spartan software in computational chemistry.
- A third participant shares a link to a Wikipedia article on computational chemistry, suggesting it may provide useful topics related to physical chemistry and quantum chemistry.
- The original poster expresses that the Wikipedia resource sparked interest in electron holes and plans to consult their professor for further guidance.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not appear to have reached a consensus on specific project ideas, and multiple viewpoints on potential topics remain open for exploration.
Contextual Notes
The discussion reflects a reliance on external resources for topic generation and highlights the time constraint of a few weeks for project completion.
Who May Find This Useful
Students or individuals interested in physical chemistry projects, particularly those with a focus on computational methods and connections to physics.
