LmtART

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

An open-source application for all-electron first-principles calculation based on augmented plane-wave basis. It performs electronic-state calculation such as band calculation of solids and structure optimization. The all-electron method, which treats core electrons explicitly, improves accuracy compared with pseudo-potential methods. This package can also treat strong electronic correlations by combining electronic-state calculation with the dynamical mean-field approximation.

k-ep

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 1 ★☆☆

Fortran codes for computing the specified k-th eigenvalue and eigenvector for generalized symmetric definite eigenvalue problems. Sylvester’s law of inertia is employed as the fundamental principle in computations, and the sparse direct linear solver (MUMPS) is used in the main routine. By inputting Hamiltonian and its overlap matrices, user can compute electron’s energy and its wave function in the specified k-th energy level.

SPINPACK

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

A free software library for numerical diagonalization of quantum spin systems. Although the programs are based on TITPACK, they have been completely rewritten in C/C++ and several extensions have been added. It can handle, for example, the Heisenberg model, the Hubbard model, and the t-J model. This library supports dimension reduction of matrices exploiting symmetries, and it can run in parallel computing environments.

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.

PHASE

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

An electronic structure calculation program based on the density functional theory and the pseudo potential scheme with a plane wave basis set. This is a powerful tool to predict the physical properties of unknown materials and to simulate experimental results such as STM and EELS. This also enables users to perform long time molecular dynamics simulations and to analyze chemical reaction processes. This program is available on a wide variety of computers from single-core PCs to massive parallel computers like K computer. The whole source code is open to public.
