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.
First-principles software based on plane-wave basis and norm-conserving pseudopotential methods. Time-dependent DFT has been implemented. Users can perform real-time simulations for electron-ion dynamics under a time-dependent external field. Pseudopotentials with FPSEID21 format should be used, and those are downloadable from the website.
An application for first-principles calculation based on the all-electron method with localized bases. Compared with the standard all-electron method (the full-potential LAPW method), this application uses a less number of bases keeping accuracy of calculation, and realize high-speed electronic state calculation by the density functional method. This application also supports calculation for disordered structures by coherent potential approximation (CPA), relativistic effect, and the LSDA+U method.
An open-source application for semi-empirical quantum chemical calculation based on NDDO (neglect of diatomic differential overlap) approximation. This program calculates, for a given molecule or a crystal, molecular orbits and atomic forces, as well as vibration spectra, thermal quantities (heat of formation etc.), isotopic exchange effect, force constant, and so on. It can also treat radicals and ions.
Integrated applications for quantum chemical, molecular dynamics, and first-principles calculations. Users can perform all the operations necessary for simulation by mouse operation, from creating input files, to performing calculations, to analyzing and displaying results. It supports open source software such as GAMESS, NWChem, Gromacs, LAMMPS, Quantum ESPRESSO and OpenMX, as well as industry-standard software such as MOPAC and Gaussian.
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.
A first principles calculation program using all electron mixture based approach. It targets broad physical systems such as isolated systems, surfaces and interfaces, and crystals, and it calculates all electronic states from core electrons to valence electrons. It deals with calculation methods such as the GW method, and also deals with parallel calculations. It can execute with high accuracy molecular dynamics calculations for electronic excited states based on time dependent density functional theory.
An application for the single-crystal analysis and the Rietveld analysis used in X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments. This application determines crystal structure models of materials from X-ray and neutron diffraction data on single-crystal and powder samples. It has been developed based on Python. Graphical user interface (GUI) can be used.
Parsec is a DFT program package based on real space basis and norm-conserving pseudopotential.
An open-source application for visualization developed for input and output of GAMESS. This application supports various types of input formats such as GAMESS, XYZ, MolDel, pdb, and CML as well as input by GUI and the Z-matrix format. It can visualize molecular orbitals, electron densities, electrostatic potentials, and normal modes, and can output results into various formats.
