A highly efficient framework for crystal structure exploration and property prediction dedicated to material science calculations. This application can automate the setup, execution, and analysis of the results of calculations based primarily on the density functional theory. It provides data on more than millions of crystal structures and can be used for high throughput calculations for material exploration. It also interfaces with various DFT codes (VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, etc.).
A library related to the symmetry of crystal structures. By providing a crystal structure, Spglib can detect information related to the symmetry of the structure, such as symmetry operations, a space group and a primitive cell. It can also generate irreducible wave numbers. Spglib is written in C, but various interfaces are available, including Python, Fortran, and Rust.
Script generation tools to manage large-scale computations on supercomputers and clusters. Moller is provided as part of the HTP-Tools package, designed to support high-throughput computations. It is a tool for generating batch job scripts for supercomputers and clusters, allowing parallel execution of programs under a series of computational conditions, such as parameter parallelism.
A Boltzmann transport equation solver for calculating lattice thermal conductivity based on phonon information obtained from first-principles calculations. It takes into account three-phonon interactions and enables first-principles analysis of thermal transport properties in solids, including anisotropic crystals, complex structures, and those containing defects. Tutorials and input-support tools are also provided. A tool for calculating third-order force constants (thirdorder.py) is also available on the same website.
A software package for calculating lattice thermal conductivity based on phonon information obtained from first-principles calculations, including four-phonon scattering processes. It extends ShengBTE to account for four-phonon interactions that become dominant at high temperatures. The program enables quantitative analysis of the competition between three- and four-phonon interactions as well as temperature dependence, allowing for more accurate evaluation of thermal transport properties.
A benchmark framework for evaluating general-purpose, i.e., universal, machine learning potentials, along with a leaderboard based on those evaluations. Rankings are determined by a comprehensive assessment that considers the accuracy of predicted formation energy of materials, structural relaxation, and thermal conductivity. Recently, in addition to public research institutions such as universities, major companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Google have also joined the development of universal potentials, taking top positions on the leaderboard.
DDMRG (DynamicalDMRG) is a program for analyzing the dynamical properties of one-dimensional electron systems by using the density matrix renormalization group method. It simulates excited or photo-induced quantum phenomena in Mott insulators, spin-Peierls materials, organic materials, etc. Parallel computational procedures for linear and non-linear responses in low dimensional electron systems and analyzing routines for relaxation processes of excited states induced by photo-irradiation are available.
This software is for constructing inter-atomic force fields that mostly fit the results of ab-initio calculations, using multi-canonical molecular dynamic simulations. Various potential functions such as silicon, ionic crystal, and water have been pre-installed, and the user’s potential function can also be used. The default ab initio calculation solver is xTAPP and other calculation libraries are also applicable.
A set of routines for real-symmetric dense eigenproblems in supercomputers or massively parallel machines. Both of standard and general eigenproblems are supported. A fast computation is achieved by optimal hybrid solvers among eigenproblem libraries of ELPA, EigenExa and ScaLAPACK. The package includes a mini-appli that can be used in a benchmark test.
An open-source application for electronic structure calculation based on the diffusion Monte Carlo method. By using output of other packages of first-principles quantum-chemical calculation, this package performs electronic structure calculation with high accuracy. Although its computational cost is high, various physical quantities can be evaluated very accurately. It implements an efficient parallelization algorithm, and supports massively parallel computing.
