Advance / PHASE is software for first-principles calculation based on the density functional theory by using plane-wave basis and pseudopotentials. Since the electronic state is obtained based on quantum mechanics, highly accurate results can be obtained. It can be expected not only to analyze existing materials but also to design various metals, insulators, semiconductors, magnetic materials, dielectric materials, piezoelectric materials, and various other new materials.
An open-source program package for numerical diagonalization based on the Lanczos method, specialized for spin chains with unit spin magnitude, S=1. This package, which uses another open-source program package, TITPACK, calculates eigenenergies and eigenvectors of ground states and low-lying excited states of spin chains with finite length. By the subspace partitioning method, both memory and cpu-time requirements are considerably reduced.
An open-source application for molecular dynamics. This application can perform molecular dynamics simulation of biopolymers and solvents consisting of a number of molecules/atoms. It implements a number of force field sets and algorithms, and supports parallel computing based on OpenMP. Java graphical user interface (GUI) is also included.
An application for adding a function of the replica exchange method to the existing applications for molecular dynamics simulation such as MODYLAS, AMBER, and CHARMM. Without changing original programs of molecular dynamics, the replica exchange method can be implemented easily. This application also shows high performance in massive parallel computing by the K-computer.
A fee-charging structure database of organic materials crystal structures. Three-dimensional structure data of small molecules and metal-organic crystals determined by the X-ray diffraction measurement can be downloaded. The data are compiled and distributed by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC).
An application for modeling and visualization of molecules for quantum chemical calculation. This application implements a construction of
molecular structures with classical molecular dynamics simulation and structure optimization by simple generic force fields, and a preparation of input files for applications of quantum chemical calculation such as Gaussian. A binary package for Windows XP is available, and informal packages for Windows 7, iPad, and Linux exist.
An application for DFTB (Density Functional Tight Binding) calculation combined with Divide-and-Conquer (DC) method. The DC-DFTB-K program enables geometry optimization and molecular dynamics simulation of large molecular systems with linear-scaling computational cost. DFTB electronic structure calculation of 1 million atom system has been demonstrated using MPI/OpenMP hybrid parallel computation on the K computer.
OpenMX Viewer (Open source package for Material eXplorer Viewer) is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) program for visualization and analysis of crystalline and molecular structures.
XYZ, CIF, OpenMX input/output, md(molecular dynamics) files, the Gaussian cube format such as electron density and molecular orbitals can be visualized quickly by drag-and-drop, and it is easy to analyze static/dynamic structural properties conveniently in a web browser. Several basic functionalities such as analysis of Mulliken charges, molecular dynamics, geometry optimization and band structure are included.
A results database of first-principle calculation for material science. This database provides numerical data of crystal structures, band structures, thermodynamic quantities, phase diagrams, magnetic moments, and so on. This site is maintained by a research group of Duke University, and in particular, has extensive data of Heusler alloys. In addition to a user interface based on web browsers, an http-based API is also provided to enable user-defined material screening. This database can be used without charge after registration.
