Abstract
ThermoLIB is a Python/Cython library designed to be used as a postprocessing tool for constructing free-energy surfaces, including adequate error estimation from the output of molecular simulations, transforming them between different collective variables (CVs), and extracting thermodynamic and kinetic information. ThermoLIB is available for download on GitHub and comes with extended documentation as well as many tutorials. The implementation is based on the theory of maximum-likelihood estimators for robust error estimation. The free-energy surfaces can be transformed or projected a posteriori to a larger or lower CV space by constructing conditional probabilities from the simulation results. Finally, useful CV-independent thermodynamic and kinetic properties, such as the rate constant, can be readily obtained, together with their uncertainty estimates. We briefly illustrate the capabilities of ThermoLIB by means of tutorials and case studies.
The cluster expansion is a widely used approach for predicting the finite-temperature thermodynamics of alloys from zero-kelvin first-principles calculations, but its conventional formulation becomes intractable for materials with more than three or four chemical species. High-entropy alloys have therefore remained lar...

Predicting isotope effects using electronic structure calculations is widely done, but current software options can present a barrier for some chemists, depending upon their needs and software/programming proficiency. Building upon existing code bases, we have developed PyQuiverHS as a free web tool (

This article shows that the intrinsic gas-phase error in density functional theory (DFT) calculations can be effectively eliminated by referencing adsorption energies and reaction barriers to surface-bound intermediates rather than to molecular species. In oxygen reduction reaction modeling, referencing OH adsorption...
Predicting thermal stability during handling and storage is essential for the design of safe and reliable energetic materials. However, experimental measurements vary significantly across laboratories due to differences in protocols and analysis methods, making it difficult to train reliable predictive models. We addre...
