WEST

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

WEST is a package for calculating excited spectrum by using the one-shot GW method. Before calculating the excited spectrum, it is necessary to obtain the ground states from the DFT calculations (LDA/GGA/hybrid functional) by Quantum ESPRESSO. To reduce the numerical cost, WEST uses the algorithm that does not require the unoccupied bands. It is also possible to include the spin-orbit couplings and to perform the large-scale calculations at supercomputers. Installation and formats of input files are basically the same as those of Quantum ESPRESSO.

VisBAR

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆
A set of Python scripts for post-simulation data analysis of large-scale electronic state calculations. Currently the open script is ‘VisBAR Wave Batch’ that visualizes many wavefunctions, as isosurfaces, simultaneously. The script generates picture files in PNG and other formats from grid data files in the Gaussian cube format. Many data files can be treated in parallelism by MPI.
