Atomistix Toolkit (ATK)

  • Level of openness 0 ☆☆☆
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

Payware for evaluation of electron transport based on nonequilibrium Green’s function. This application is descended from the SIESTA application, and can calculate electronic transport properties of bulk materials and molecules inserted between leads by performing electronic state calculation under a finite bias. One can choose either density functional method or semiempirical method, and can control external factors such as gate voltages. It also implements structure optimization and analysis of chemical reaction paths.

Quloud-RSDFT

  • Level of openness 0 ☆☆☆
  • Document quality 0 ☆☆☆

Provides a complete set of environments necessary for computational materials science research in the cloud. A web browser is all that is needed to start a full range of first-principles simulations, including modeling, calculation, data storage, and analysis. RSDFT is used as the engine, and the lineup will be expanded in the future. Data can be shared within a group, and structural data from other software such as GAUSSIAN and VASP can be read.

CASTEP

  • Level of openness 0 ☆☆☆
  • Document quality 3 ★★★

Software for first-principles calculation based on pseudo-potential and plane-wave basis. This software performs electronic-state calculation of various systems by density functional theory, and can treat structure optimization, excited-state analysis, and so on. This software can be applied to many physical phenomena such as catalysis reaction, calculation of phase diagram, etc. There are many users of this payware in the world.
