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.

CONQUEST

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

CONQUEST is a linear-scaling DFT (Density Functional Theory) code based on the density matrix minimization method. Since its computational cost, for both memory and computational costs, is only proportional to the number of atoms N of the target systems, the code can employ structure optimization or molecular dynamics on very large-scale systems, including more than hundreds of thousands of atoms. It also has high parallel efficiency and is suitable for massively parallel calculations.

OQMD: The Open Quantum Materials Database

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

A database for thermodynamic properties and crystal structures calculated based on the density functional theory by a research group in Northwestern University. OQMD provides over one million data generated by using not only experimental crystal structures provided by ICSD but also those obtained by calculations. Users can search data in OQMD by using Python API.
