DFTB+

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

An application for quantum chemical calculation based on DFTB (Density Functional based Tight Binding). This application performs structure
optimization and molecular dynamics by the DFTB force field as well as ordinary energy calculation, and implements parallel computing by OpenMP. A tool for visualization of molecular orbitals and an extended versions supporting MPI parallel computation or electron transport calculation by the nonequilibrium Green’s function method are also
available.

Elk

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

An open-source application for the first-principles calculation by the all-electron calculation method based on plane wave bases. In addition to standard methods (LDA, GGA, etc.), the LDA+U method, treatment of spin-orbit interaction (noncolinear magnetism), and calculation of phonons are supported. Hybrid parallel computing by OpenMP and MPI is also supported.

Allegro

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

Open source software for constructing the Allegro potential model based on E(3)-equivariant graph neural networks and using the potential model for molecular dynamics simulations. The code depends on NequIP and can be run in a similar manner. Allegro scales better than NequIP since it doesn’t rely on message passing and the architecture is strictly local with respect to atom-wise environments.

pacemaker

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

Software tool for constructing interatomic potentials based on nonlinear atomic cluster expansion. It requires the user to either prepare a fitting dataset based on pandas and ASE, or it can automatically extract data from VASP calculation results. The obtained potentials can be used for molecular dynamics simulations using LAMMPS, and it also provides the capability to calculate extrapolation grades for on-the-fly active learning.

LmtART

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

An open-source application for all-electron first-principles calculation based on augmented plane-wave basis. It performs electronic-state calculation such as band calculation of solids and structure optimization. The all-electron method, which treats core electrons explicitly, improves accuracy compared with pseudo-potential methods. This package can also treat strong electronic correlations by combining electronic-state calculation with the dynamical mean-field approximation.
