MobCal-MPI 2.0.1

Parallelization of the commonly used MobCal suite to calculate ion mobilities and collision cross sections (2.0).

Changes in v2.0.1

The latest release of MobCal-MPI (v2.0) expands on its predecessor by implementing two-temperature theory to accurately compute ion mobilities and CCSs at arbitrary field strengths. v2.0.1 addresses fixes to the GUI and some compilation errors. v2.0.1 also includes a manual that details the accompanying GUI's functionality, how to compile the MobCal-MPI fortran code on various Unix platforms, and an Appendix that offers a step-by-step tutorial on how to calculate an ion's CCS from the ground up.

A summary of the changes from v1.2 to v 2.0.1 are included below:

  • Implementation of two-temperature theory (2TT) within the MobCal-MPI framework
  • Implementation of an empirical correction to 2TT, thus correcting systematic deviations between calculated and experimental high-field mobilities
  • Updated the methodology for evaluating uncertainty in the CCS calculated from the trajectory method
  • Changed the nature of the grid in which ion-neutral relative velocities are sampled during the simulation of collision dynamics from a weighted spacing to a linear spacing.
  • Fixed a bug where the temperature in which N2 rotational orientations were weighted was fixed at 500 K rather than set to the user-defined temperature.

For a full description of each change, we direct users to the manuscript accompanying MobCal-MPI 2.0.

Changes in v1.2

This release of MobCal-MPI (v 1.2) is equipped with a Python-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) for:

  • Conversion of Gaussian output files (.log) into MobCal-MPI input files (.mfj)
  • Calculation of Boltzmann weights of isomer populations for the generation of Boltzmann-weighted CCSs
  • Extraction of CCSs from MobCal-MPI output files (.mout)
  • Multiple temperatures can now be specified in a single .mfj input file
  • The reporting of CCS now occurs at the end of each .mout file in a formatted table
