WEST is a package for calculating excited spectrum by using the one-shot GW method. Before calculating the excited spectrum, it is necessary to obtain the ground states from the DFT calculations (LDA/GGA/hybrid functional) by Quantum ESPRESSO. To reduce the numerical cost, WEST uses the algorithm that does not require the unoccupied bands. It is also possible to include the spin-orbit couplings and to perform the large-scale calculations at supercomputers. Installation and formats of input files are basically the same as those of Quantum ESPRESSO.
An open source library to calculate free energy in molecular dynamics simulation. It supports several famous molecular dynamics software packages such as Amber and Lammps.
An interface package to use Torch (the open-source numerical library for machine learning) from Python. Users can easily implement deep learning based on neural networks, and can use various state-of-the-art methods. This package supports GPGPU parallel computation, and realises high-speed operation. A front-end interface for C++ is also prepared.
An application for first-principles calculation based on density functional theory. This application is included in Material Sudio, and can evaluate electronic states and properties of various physical systems such as molecules, atomic clusters, crystals, and solid surfaces based on the all-electron method and the pseudopotential method. It can also be applied to evaluation of the chemical reaction such as catalysis and combustion reaction, and is optimized for large-scale parallel computing.
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.
An application for three-dimensional visualization with the ray tracing method. This application can visualize arbitrary positions and shapes of objects such as spheres and cubes. It can visualize three-dimensional data obtained from computational fluid dynamics etc. by volume rendering. It can also be used for simple three-dimensional graphical simulator with macro functions.
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.
