Octopus

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 3 ★★★

An open-source application for first-principles calculation based on pseudo- potential and real-space basis. It performs electronic-state calculation such as band calculation of solids and structure optimization for a variety of physical systems. The method of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is implemented, which allows simulation of dynamical phenomena with real-time evolution of electronic states, such as chemical reaction and electronic response to time-dependent external fields. Comes with detailed tutorials and comprehensive manuals.

FDMNES

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 3 ★★★

An application for first-principles calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) optimized for X-ray spectroscopy analysis. Theoretical prediction and data fitting for X-ray spectroscopy such as XANES(X-ray absorption fine structure), XMCD(X-ray magnetic circular dichroism), RXD(resonant X-ray diffraction) can be preformes. This application employs a fully relativistic LSDA calculation based on the finite element method, and also supports the LDA+U method and the TD-DFT calculation.

RSDFT

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

RSDFT is an ab-initio program with the real-space difference method and a pseudo-potential method. Using density functional theory (DFT), this calculates electronic states in a vast range of physical systems: crystals, interfaces, molecules, etc. RSDFT is suitable for highly parallel computing because it does not need the fast Fourier transformation. By using the K-computer, this program can calculate the electronic states of around 100,000 atoms. The Gordon Bell Prize for Peak-Performance was awarded to RSDFT in 2011.

Quloud-RSDFT

  • Level of openness 0 ☆☆☆
  • Document quality 0 ☆☆☆

Provides a complete set of environments necessary for computational materials science research in the cloud. A web browser is all that is needed to start a full range of first-principles simulations, including modeling, calculation, data storage, and analysis. RSDFT is used as the engine, and the lineup will be expanded in the future. Data can be shared within a group, and structural data from other software such as GAUSSIAN and VASP can be read.
