SeeK-path

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

A tool for generating wavevector paths in band calculations of solids. It identifies high-symmetry points in reciprocal space based on the symmetry of the crystal and provides a standardized “path” connecting them. It supports various crystal structure formats (such as POSCAR and CIF) and is compatible with many electronic structure calculation software (e.g., VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, ABINIT). A web-based interface is also available.

AkaiKKR

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

AkaiKKR is a first-principles all-electron code package that calculates the electronic structure of condensed matters using the Green’s function method (KKR). It is based on the density functional theory and is applicable to a wide range of physical systems. It can be used to simulate not only periodic crystalline solids, but also used to calculate electronic structures of impurity systems and, by using the coherent potential approximation (CPA), random systems such as disordered alloys, mixed crystals, and spin-disordered systems.
