A open-source application of first-principles calculation for the electronic structure, using the KKR method, a variant of Green’s function method. It is based on the density functional theory and is applicable to crystals and surfaces. The coherent potential approximation (CPA) is adopted, so it can handle not only periodic systems, but also disordered alloys. It can also handle spin-orbit interaction and non-collinear magnetism.
Software package that implements moment tensor potentials. Potentials can be trained and used for molecular dynamics calculations using LAMMPS. Active learning combined with molecular dynamics calculations is also available.
An application for electronic structure calculations and molecular dynamics simulations based on tight-binding approximation. By the Krylov subspace method, this application performs order-N electronic state calculation for large physical systems including a large number of atoms. It also supports massively-parallel computation using MPI/openMP hybrid parallelism, and has demonstrated calculation of 10^7-atom simulation on the K Computer.
Libtetrabz is a library which perform efficiently the Brillouin-zone integration in the electronic structure calculation in a solid by using the tetrahedron method.
Software framework for training a machine learning model to reproduce first-principles energies and then using the model to perform configurational sampling in disordered systems. It has been developed with an emphasis on multi-component solid-state systems such as metal and oxide alloys. At present, Quantum Espresso, VASP and OpenMX can be used as first-principles energy calculators, and aenet can be used to construct neural network potentials.
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.
Code for unfolding first-principles electronic energy bands calculated using supercells into the corresponding primary-cell Brillouin zone. It uses maximally-localized Wannier functions calculated using Wannier90.
Software package to implement Behler-Parinello neural network potentials. Potentials can be trained from structure-energy/ interatomic forces/stress data, and molecular dynamics calculations using LAMMPS can also be performed using learned potentials. A prediction uncertainty measure can also be calculated simultaneously.
Library for calculating Pfaffian (square root of determinant), which is defined for skew-symmetric matrices. Algorithms are implemented in several languages (Fortran, Python, Matlab, Mathematica) and users can choose favorite one. Interfaces for C are also provided.
i-PI is a universal force engine interface written in Python, designed to be used together with an ab-initio (or force-field based) evaluation of the interactions between the atoms. This application includes a large number of sophisticated methods such as replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) and path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD). Inter-atomic forces can be computed by using external codes such as CP2K, Quantum ESPRESSO and LAMMPS.
