An open-source application for first-principles calculation utilizing pseudo-potentials and atom-localized basis sets. This application is capable of performing electronic structure calculations, structural relaxation, and molecular dynamics in a wide range of systems based on density functional theory. By adopting atom-localized basis sets, it realizes high-speed electronic calculation and linear-scaling in suitable computer systems. It can also perform electronic conductance calculations based on non-equilibrium Green’s function method.
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. It supports Windows and Linux. For Windows version, graphical user interface (GUI) named WinPLOTR can be used.
An exact diagonalization package for a wide range of quantum lattice models (e.g. multi-orbital Hubbard model, Heisenberg model, Kondo lattice model). HΦ also supports the massively parallel computations. The Lanczos algorithm for obtaining the ground state and thermal pure quantum state method for finite-temperature calculations are implemented. In addition, dynamical Green’s functions can be calculated using Kω, which is a library of the shifted Krylov subspace method. It is possible to perform simulations for real-time evolution from ver. 3.0.
A free software library for numerical diagonalization of quantum spin systems. Although the programs are based on TITPACK, they have been completely rewritten in C/C++ and several extensions have been added. It can handle, for example, the Heisenberg model, the Hubbard model, and the t-J model. This library supports dimension reduction of matrices exploiting symmetries, and it can run in parallel computing environments.
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 open-source application of first-principles calculation for the electronic structure, using the KKR method, a variant of Green’s function method. It is based on the density functional theory and is applicable to crystals and surfaces. The coherent potential approximation (CPA) is adopted, so it can handle not only periodic systems, but also disordered alloys. It can also handle spin-orbit interaction and non-collinear magnetism.
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 first-principles molecular dynamics simulation based on pseudo-potential and plane-wave basis set. This application enables accurate molecular dynamics by density functional theory and Car-Parrinello method. It also supports structure optimization, Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics, path-integral molecular dynamics, calculation of response functions, the QM/MM method, and excited-state calculation.
An open-source program package for first-principles calculation based on a mixed augmented plane wave method (the PMT method). For various physical systems, this package performs electronic structure calculation and structure optimization by LDA, GGA, LDA+U and so on. It further can treat quasi-particle excitation with high accuracy by the quasi-particle self-consistent GW method. It implements several original methods not included in other program packages, and is maintained by the version control system, Git.
An open-source application for the first-principles calculation by the all-electron calculation method based on plane wave bases. This application can perform electronic state calculation by the density functional theory (DFT). This appication also supports the LDA+U method, treatment of spin-orbit interaction and noncolinear magnetism, the GW approtimation, and downfolding by the constraint RPA method.
