A benchmark framework for evaluating general-purpose, i.e., universal, machine learning potentials, along with a leaderboard based on those evaluations. Rankings are determined by a comprehensive assessment that considers the accuracy of predicted formation energy of materials, structural relaxation, and thermal conductivity. Recently, in addition to public research institutions such as universities, major companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Google have also joined the development of universal potentials, taking top positions on the leaderboard.
A graphical user interface (GUI) program for pre- and post-processing for the DFT package SIESTA. It allows visualizing band structures and density of states obtained by SIESTA and editing atom configurations. Structure data can also be output in input file formats compatible with other DFT packages such as VASP, CRYSTAL, and Quantum ESPRESSO.
An application for DFTB (Density Functional Tight Binding) calculation combined with Divide-and-Conquer (DC) method. The DC-DFTB-K program enables geometry optimization and molecular dynamics simulation of large molecular systems with linear-scaling computational cost. DFTB electronic structure calculation of 1 million atom system has been demonstrated using MPI/OpenMP hybrid parallel computation on the K computer.
An application for ab initio quantum chemical calculation. This application performs electronic structure calculation of molecules by the Hartree-Fock, density functional, the many-body perturbation, configuration interaction theories, and so on. While this application is a derivative of GAMESS-US for specific use of Intel compatible CPU, it does not include recently developed calculation methods such as the CC and FMO methods.
A GUI program for structure modeling of giant molecules. This application consists of two programs, “fumodel” and “fuplot”. The former supports preparation of input data for FMO in GAMESS, whereas the latter is software for making graphs from numerical results obtained by FMO.
An application for the Rietveld analysis used in X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments. This application determines lattice constants and atomic coordinates from X-ray and neutron diffraction data on powder samples. It supports Windows and Linux. For Windows version, graphical user interface (GUI) named WinPLOTR can be used.
An application for the Rietveld analysis used in X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments. This application determines lattice constants and atomic coordinates from X-ray and neutron diffraction data on powder samples by pattern fitting based on the maximum entropy method (MEM). It can also analyze materials with random atomic configuration effectively. It supports Windows and Mac OS, and is still being developed actively.
An application for atomic multiplet calculation used in X-ray spectroscopies. This application consists of several calculation modules and graphical user interface, and can perform multiplet calculation of atoms. It can take into account effect of crystal fields and charge transfer, both of which are important in transition-metal compounds, and can provide useful information to interpret experimental results obtained in various inner-shell electron X-ray spectroscopies.
An application for X-ray spectroscopy analysis based on atomic multiple-state calculation. This application performs multiplet calculation for transition-metal and rare-earth elements by taking into account effect of crystal fields and charge transfer, and can determine physical parameters by comparison between theory and experimental data via fitting. It implements useful graphical user interface(GUI), realizing intuitive operation.
