A free software library for numerical diagonalization of quantum spin systems. Although the programs are based on TITPACK, they have been completely rewritten in C/C++ and several extensions have been added. It can handle, for example, the Heisenberg model, the Hubbard model, and the t-J model. This library supports dimension reduction of matrices exploiting symmetries, and it can run in parallel computing environments.
An application for the Rietveld analysis used in X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments. This application determines lattice constants and atomic coordinates from X-ray and neutron diffraction data on powder samples by pattern fitting based on the maximum entropy method (MEM). It can also analyze materials with random atomic configuration effectively. It supports Windows and Mac OS, and is still being developed actively.
An application for ab initio quantum chemical calculation. This application performs electronic structure calculation of molecules by the Hartree-Fock, density functional, many-body perturbation, configuration interaction theories, and so on. This application is free only for academic use in United Kingdom. Although it histrically shares core programs with GAMESS-US, different functions have been added in later development.
A collection of C++ interfaces for simulation of mesoscale properties based on grid data. By using provided header files, one can easily construct programs for simulation of various phenomena such as solidification, crystal growth, and spinodal decomposition, based on a Monte Carlo method, cellar automaton, and a phase-field method. This interface supports parallel computing by MPI, and also provides converters of output files for visualization software such as ParaView.
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.
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.
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 first-principles molecular dynamics simulation based on pseudo-potential and plane-wave basis set. This application enables accurate molecular dynamics by density functional theory and Car-Parrinello method. It also supports structure optimization, Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics, path-integral molecular dynamics, calculation of response functions, the QM/MM method, and excited-state calculation.
A tool of input-file preparation and visualization for xTAPP, an application of the first-principle calculation. By graphical user interface (GUI), this application helps xTAPP users for making input files, and visualizes results of wavefunctions, electron densities, and potential profiles into three-dimensional graphics from output files.
An open-source application for ab initio quantum chemical calculation. This application performs electronic structure calculation of molecules by the Hartree-Fock, density functional, many-body perturbation, configuration interaction theories, and so on. Even though this application is freeware, it succeeds in maintaining high-quality and high-performance codes by active development, and has a number of world-wide users. It histrically shares core programs with GAMESS-UK.
