OpenKIM Directory of
Interatomic Model Developers

The OpenKIM Directory of Interatomic Model Developers lists researchers engaged in the development of interatomic potentials and force fields. This is a free resource provided by OpenKIM to help researchers engaged in molecular simulation to connect with model developers in order to find interatomic models and to form collaborations.

If you are seeking an interatomic model for a particular system, you can contact individual developers based on the information they provide below, or post on the model developers forum. (For more on the forum, see here.)
