Program libraries for alloy modeling analysis using a cluster expansion method. Energy of alloy systems evaluated by other electronic state calculation libraries is used as an input, and atomic configuration effects are evaluated with the accuracy of a first principles calculation. Ground state structures, evaluation of thermodynamic quantities, equilibrium diagrams, disordering by temperature, etc. can be calculated with high accuracy.
A tool for performing Bader analysis of assigning electron density of molecules and solids to individual atoms. Binaries for Linux and Mac OS X, as well as source code is provided under the GPL. The code is written in fortran90, and can handle charge density data in VASP CHGCAR and Gaussian Cube formats.
Software to calculate physical quantities related to phonon in solids from result calculated using first principles calculation software. Results calculated from first principles calculation software such as VASP and Wien2k are used as an input.
An application for prediction of stable and metastable structures from a chemical composition. This application applies particle swarm optimization to predict material structures from results of the first-principles calculation by external packages (VASP, CASTEP, Quantum Espresso, GULP, SIESTA, CP2k). It has been applied to predict not only three-dimensional crystal structures, but also those of clusters and surfaces.
An application for evaluation of thermoelectric properties and its visualization. Seebeck coefficients and Peltier coefficients can be calculated from output of the first-principles applications, OpenMX and TranSIESTA. Obtained results as well as electron density and density of states can be visualized.
CIF2Cell is a tool to generate a crystal structure part of an input file of first-principles calculation software from crystal structure data file in CIF format. It supports various first-principles calculation codes such as ABINIT, Quantum Espresso, and VASP.
Web server that offers various crystallographic tools free of charge. The server offers over 70 tools/utilities related to space group, magnetic space group, representation theory, scattering theory, etc. The tools are accessed through a web interface.
OpenFFT is an open source parallel package for computing multi-dimensional Fast Fourier Transforms (3-D and 4-D FFTs) of both real and complex numbers of arbitrary input size. It originates from OpenMX (Open source package for Material eXplorer). OpenFFT adopts a communication-optimal domain decomposition method that is adaptive and capable of localizing data when transposing from one dimension to another for reducing the total volume of communication. It is written in C and MPI, with support for Fortran through the Fortran interface, and employs FFTW3 for computing 1-D FFTs.
Analytical tool to calculate the Z2 topological number or Chern number from given band structures, which are derived from first-principles calculations or tight-binding Hamiltonians. The topological numbers are calculated from the evolution of Wannier charge center and this method is applicable to the systems without inversion symmetries.
A sparse-modeling tool for computing the spectral function from the imaginary-time Green function. It removes statistical errors in quantum Monte Carlo data, and performs a stable analytical continuation. The obtained spectral function fulfills the non-negativity and the sum rule. The computation is fast and free from tuning parameters.
