PAICS

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

PAICS is a program of quantum chemical calculation. In this program, fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method is adopted, by which large molecules including biomolecular systems can be treated with several quantum chemical approaches including HF and MP2 methods. At the same time, PaicsView has been developed, which is a supporting program for making input files and analyzing calculation results.

Elk

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

An open-source application for the first-principles calculation by the all-electron calculation method based on plane wave bases. In addition to standard methods (LDA, GGA, etc.), the LDA+U method, treatment of spin-orbit interaction (noncolinear magnetism), and calculation of phonons are supported. Hybrid parallel computing by OpenMP and MPI is also supported.

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.

WIEN2k

  • Level of openness 0 ☆☆☆
  • Document quality 3 ★★★

Program package for first-principles calculation based on all-electron calculation method and augmented plane-wave basis. This package performs electronic-state calculation such as band calculation of solids, structure optimization, first-principles molecular dynamics, and so on. All-electron method, which treats core electrons, improves accuracy in calculation compared with pseudo-potential method, and enables us to obtain chemical shifts related to core electrons. This payware can be used by making a contract with the developer.

Questaal

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

An application for first-principles calculation based on the all-electron method. This application implements not only normal electronic state calculation (band calculation) but also a quasi-particle GW method for self-consistent (or one-shot) calculation of excitation spectrum and quasi-particle band. Combining with dynamical mean-field theory, self-consistent calculation including many-body effect can also be performed.
