Welcome to the CCP-NC Magres Database
The Magres database is a repository of first-principle computational results for solid-state NMR Crystallography, stored in the Magres (.magres) format. This resource provides a central platform for researchers to share, explore, and utilise data associated with calculations of NMR parameters in solid-state structures.
What is the Magres Format?
The Magres format is a text-based file format developed within CCP-NC to archive the results of ab initio calculations of NMR parameters. It serves as a comprehensive, self-sufficient, archival format, ensuring that all relevant computational details are preserved for future reference. Supported by major computational codes such as CASTEP and Quantum ESPRESSO, the Magres format enables seamless data sharing and processing within the NMR Crystallography community.
Who Can Contribute?
Contributions to the database are encouraged from:
- NMR spectroscopists,
- Crystallographers,
- Materials scientists,
- Computational modelers.
Deposits require an ORCID ID and must be in the Magres format.
Supported Tools and Software
- CASTEP and Quantum ESPRESSO for generating magres files
- MagresView and Soprano for visualising and processing magres data
