PHASE

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 3 ★★★

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.

VisBAR

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆
A set of Python scripts for post-simulation data analysis of large-scale electronic state calculations. Currently the open script is ‘VisBAR Wave Batch’ that visualizes many wavefunctions, as isosurfaces, simultaneously. The script generates picture files in PNG and other formats from grid data files in the Gaussian cube format. Many data files can be treated in parallelism by MPI.
