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.

Superconducting Toolkit (sctk)

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

An open-source application for evaluating superconducting gaps from resutls of the first-principles calculation by Quantum ESPRESSO. By calculating electron-phonon interaction and screened Coulomb interaction from the first-principles calculation, superconducting gaps can be obtained from the gap equation. Quasiparticle densities of states and ultrasonic attenuation rates can also be calculated.

Questaal

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

An application for first-principles calculation based on the all-electron method. This application implements not only normal electronic state calculation (band calculation) but also a quasi-particle GW method for self-consistent (or one-shot) calculation of excitation spectrum and quasi-particle band. Combining with dynamical mean-field theory, self-consistent calculation including many-body effect can also be performed.
