Debian Live Linux System that contains OS, editors, materials science application software, visualization tools, etc. An environment needed to perform materials science simulations is provided as a one package. By booting up on VirtualBox virtual machine, one can start simulations, such as the first-principles calculation, molecular dynamics, quantum chemical calculation, lattice model calculation, etc, immediately.
3D drawing software for molecules and crystals. QtDraw supports drawings of 3D objects such as atomic orbitals, polygons and spline curves. By installing MultiPie, users can draw the above objects with the help of symmetry operations and irreducible representations. These functionalities can be called by Python code.
An open-source application for translating chemical structure format files. More than 110 formats are supported. This application is actively being developed taking into account use and construction of database and application to infomational technology in chemistry (chemoinformatics). A graphical user interface is alsp provided for Windows.
An open-source multi-purpose application for modeling and visualizing molecules (biomolecules, in particular). This application has been developed for multi-scale molecular simulation, and also provides a simple GUI for AMBER and Gaussian. It also implements exchange of protein residues and the Pathways model for the electron transfer in proteins. It calls rasmol for visualization of atoms and molecules.
An electronic structure calculation program based on the density functional theory and the pseudo potential scheme with a plane wave basis set. This is a powerful tool to predict the physical properties of unknown materials and to simulate experimental results such as STM and EELS. This also enables users to perform long time molecular dynamics simulations and to analyze chemical reaction processes. This program is available on a wide variety of computers from single-core PCs to massive parallel computers like K computer. The whole source code is open to public.
An open-source application for visualization developed for input and output of GAMESS. This application supports various types of input formats such as GAMESS, XYZ, MolDel, pdb, and CML as well as input by GUI and the Z-matrix format. It can visualize molecular orbitals, electron densities, electrostatic potentials, and normal modes, and can output results into various formats.
Application for specifying and simulating lattice kinetic Monte Carlo models. It has been developed in the context of simulating heterogeneous catalysis. Models can be specified using provided python APIs or through a simple GUI.
An application for visualization of Fermi surfaces.
This application displays Fermi surfaces colored as a function of an arbitrary scalar quantities such as magnitude of Fermi velocities and superconducting gap. It only requires a minimum set of data to draw Fermi surfaces. FermiSurfer provides a simple graphical user interface; the user can smoothly turn on/off the stereogram, nodal-lines, etc.
A simple open-source application for visualization compatible to Protein Data Bank (PDB) format. This application also supports other formats such as Sybyl, Molden, Mopac, and CHARMM. It is a pioneering piece of software as an interactive PDB viewer.
A piece of software for obtaining crystal structure and visualizing three-dimensional data that runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X platforms. It can handle 30 structure data formats and 17 volumetric data formats for input, and 13 structure data formats and 6 volumetric data formats for output. It is distributed free of charge in binary format for noncommercial purposes.
