DFT MODELS - The table below lists the NLDFT models currently available. Those with asterisks (*) were included in the software shipped with Micromeritics’ DataMaster, ASAP 2020, ASAP 2420, TriStar 3020, and Gemini 2390 product. The other models can be downloaded and incorporated with those already in your NLDFT model library. You must be a registered customer to acquire these software updates. Model download Instructions.

The theoretical works upon which each model is based is referenced by a number corresponding to a publication listed in the DFT Model References page.
New models will be added to this list on a regular basis. Please contact us if you have a suggestion for a new model.
