An open-source application for molecular simulations. This application supports various methods such as classical and ab initio molecular dynamics, path integral simulations, replica exchange simulations, metadynamics, string method, surface hopping dynamics, QM/MM simulations, and so on. A hierarchical parallelization between molecular structures (replicas) and force fields (adiabatic potentials) enables fast and efficient computation.
Software package that implements Behler-Parinello type neural network potential. The package provides tools for training and evaluating potentials based on given structure-energy data. It also provides an interface with LAMMPS for performing molecular dynamics calculations.
A program package for constructing interatomic force fields which explicitly consider lattice anharmonicity. In combination with a molecular dynamics simulator LAMMPS and an external first-principles package such as VASP and Quantum ESPRESSO, ALAMODE extracts harmonic/anharmonic force constants of solids and calculates phonon dispersion, phonon DOS, Gruneisen parameter, phonon-phonon scattering probability, lattice thermal-conductivity, anharmonic phonons at finite temperature, phonon free energy and so on.
CONQUEST is a linear-scaling DFT (Density Functional Theory) code based on the density matrix minimization method. Since its computational cost, for both memory and computational costs, is only proportional to the number of atoms N of the target systems, the code can employ structure optimization or molecular dynamics on very large-scale systems, including more than hundreds of thousands of atoms. It also has high parallel efficiency and is suitable for massively parallel calculations.
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.
A group of applications that perform molecular dynamics, hybrid quantum/classical mechanical simulation, search of chemical reaction path by the nudged elastic band method, and potential parameter fitting. The molecular dynamics code includes interatomic potentials for several metals and semiconductors, and is capable of parallel computation based of spatial decomposition.
An open-source application for first-principles molecular dynamics based on a pseudopotential method using plane bases. This application can perform electronic-state calculation and molecular dynamics employing the Car-Parrinello method. It implements MPI parallelization, which enables us to perform efficient parallel computing in various environments including large-scale parallel computers. The program is written in C++, and is distributed in source form under the GPL license.
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.
