Computational Electronic Structure of Condensed Matter
CCP9 is the Collaborative Computational Project for the Study of the Electronic Structure of Condensed Matter.
CCP9 provides a network which connects UK research groups in electronic structure, facilitates UK participation in the larger European Psi-k Network and supports a number of cutting edge computational codes. The chairman of CCP9 is Prof. Stewart Clark, University of Durham.
