Siesta

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

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.

abICS

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

Software framework for training a machine learning model to reproduce first-principles energies and then using the model to perform configurational sampling in disordered systems. It has been developed with an emphasis on multi-component solid-state systems such as metal and oxide alloys. At present, Quantum Espresso, VASP and OpenMX can be used as first-principles energy calculators, and aenet can be used to construct neural network potentials.

OpenFFT

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

OpenFFT is an open source parallel package for computing multi-dimensional Fast Fourier Transforms (3-D and 4-D FFTs) of both real and complex numbers of arbitrary input size. It originates from OpenMX (Open source package for Material eXplorer). OpenFFT adopts a communication-optimal domain decomposition method that is adaptive and capable of localizing data when transposing from one dimension to another for reducing the total volume of communication. It is written in C and MPI, with support for Fortran through the Fortran interface, and employs FFTW3 for computing 1-D FFTs.

PHYSBO (optimization tools for PHYsics based on Bayesian Optimization )

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

PHYSBO is a Python library for researchers mainly in the materials science field to perform fast and scalable Bayesian optimization based on COMBO (Common Bayesian Optimization). Users can search the candidate with the largest objective function value from candidates listed in advance by using machine learning prediction. PHYSBO can handle a larger amount of data compared with standard implementations such as scikit-learn.

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.
