AFLOW (Automatic-FLOW)

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

A highly efficient framework for crystal structure exploration and property prediction dedicated to material science calculations. This application can automate the setup, execution, and analysis of the results of calculations based primarily on the density functional theory. It provides data on more than millions of crystal structures and can be used for high throughput calculations for material exploration. It also interfaces with various DFT codes (VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, etc.).

AlphaFold

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

An AI system for predicting protein conformation. It is possible to predict the three-dimensional structure (folding structure) of a protein from its primary sequence (amino acid sequence). It learns hundreds of thousands of protein structure databases and uses DeepMind-based deep learning techniques to predict the conformation of new proteins from their amino acid sequences.

SeeK-path

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

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.

Sunny

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 3 ★★★
Sunny.jl is a Julia package designed for modeling atomic-scale magnetism, enabling simulations of both equilibrium and non-equilibrium magnetic phenomena from microscopic models. It facilitates the calculation of dynamical spin structure factors, allowing for direct comparisons with experimental scattering data such as neutron or x-ray measurements.
It extends Landau-Lifshitz spin dynamics to treat spins as SU(N) coherent states, making it particularly effective for modeling materials with strong single-ion anisotropy. It provides robust Monte Carlo algorithms for sampling spin configuration in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium dynamics, making it possible to study a wide range of physical phenomena.

ShengBTE

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

A Boltzmann transport equation solver for calculating lattice thermal conductivity based on phonon information obtained from first-principles calculations. It takes into account three-phonon interactions and enables first-principles analysis of thermal transport properties in solids, including anisotropic crystals, complex structures, and those containing defects. Tutorials and input-support tools are also provided. A tool for calculating third-order force constants (thirdorder.py) is also available on the same website.

FourPhonon

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

A software package for calculating lattice thermal conductivity based on phonon information obtained from first-principles calculations, including four-phonon scattering processes. It extends ShengBTE to account for four-phonon interactions that become dominant at high temperatures. The program enables quantitative analysis of the competition between three- and four-phonon interactions as well as temperature dependence, allowing for more accurate evaluation of thermal transport properties.

Matbench Discovery

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

A benchmark framework for evaluating general-purpose, i.e., universal, machine learning potentials, along with a leaderboard based on those evaluations. Rankings are determined by a comprehensive assessment that considers the accuracy of predicted formation energy of materials, structural relaxation, and thermal conductivity. Recently, in addition to public research institutions such as universities, major companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Google have also joined the development of universal potentials, taking top positions on the leaderboard.
