FORTRAN-based software package developed by the Behler Group for implementing Behler-Parinello neural network potentials. Potentials can be constructed, evaluated, and used for molecular dynamics simulations using LAMMPS. The newest generation of neural network potentials that take into account long-range electrostatic interactions are implemented.
Photo-excited electron dynamics simulator based on time-dependent density functional theory using real-time, real-space grids. It can perform calculations of linear photo-response and nonlinear photo-response to pulse radiation in a variety of systems including isolated systems, periodic systems, interfaces/surfaces, etc. It can perform massively parallel calculations in systems consisting of thousands of atoms, and it can also perform multiscale simulation of electron-electromagnetic field-coupled dynamics.
A tool for generating wavevector paths in band calculations of solids. It identifies high-symmetry points in reciprocal space based on the symmetry of the crystal and provides a standardized “path” connecting them. It supports various crystal structure formats (such as POSCAR and CIF) and is compatible with many electronic structure calculation software (e.g., VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, ABINIT). A web-based interface is also available.
A python tool for generating symmetry-inequivalent supercell structures from a CIF file containing site occupancy information. SHRY can be used as a command-line tool as well as a module in a python script.
An open-source application for first-principles calculation utilizing pseudo-potentials and atom-localized basis sets. This application is capable of performing electronic structure calculations, structural relaxation, and molecular dynamics in a wide range of systems based on density functional theory. By adopting atom-localized basis sets, it realizes high-speed electronic calculation and linear-scaling in suitable computer systems. It can also perform electronic conductance calculations based on non-equilibrium Green’s function method.
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.
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.
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.
STATE is a first-principles plane-wave pseudo-potential code. It provides electronic state calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. This code is suitable for simulating chemical reactions at solid surfaces and solid–liquid interfaces, i.e., It is able to investigate reaction paths and activation barriers of chemical processes at interfaces. It can also include Van der Waals corrections to conventional density functional theory.
An open-source application for evaluating superconducting gaps from resutls of the first-principles calculation by Quantum ESPRESSO. By calculating electron-phonon interaction and screened Coulomb interaction from the first-principles calculation, superconducting gaps can be obtained from the gap equation. Quasiparticle densities of states and ultrasonic attenuation rates can also be calculated.
