Octopus

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

An open-source application for first-principles calculation based on pseudo- potential and real-space basis. It performs electronic-state calculation such as band calculation of solids and structure optimization for a variety of physical systems. The method of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is implemented, which allows simulation of dynamical phenomena with real-time evolution of electronic states, such as chemical reaction and electronic response to time-dependent external fields. Comes with detailed tutorials and comprehensive manuals.

Elastic

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

Elastic is a set of python routines for calculation of elastic properties of crystals (elastic constants, equation of state, sound velocities, etc.).  It is implemented as a extension to the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) system.  There is a script providing interface to the library not requiring knowledge of python or ASE system.

DCA++

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

DCA++ is a software framework to solve correlated electron problems with modern quantum cluster methods. This code provides a state of the art implementation of the dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) and its DCA+ extension. As the cluster solvers, DCA++ provides the continuous-time auxiliary field QMC (CT-AUX) , the continuous-time hybridization expansion (CT-HYB) restricted to single-site problems, the high temperature series expansion (HTS) and the exact diagonalization(ED).

Calypso

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

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.
