Computational resources are available as part of the theory component of PARADIM’s Materials-By-Design Toolbox. Users can find information about available software, specific hands-on tutorials, lecture videos, and a computational support forum to communicate with PARADIM scientists. The menu will navigate users to various tutorials based on standard DFT calculations using the open source Quantum Espresso package as well as many-body calculations beyond DFT using the YAMBO code. The tutorials are designing to help both expert and non-expert users. Users can also find information on how to access and run calculations at supercomputing facilities available through PARADIM.
For technical assistance with your calculations consult the PARADIM theory tutorials, or reach out to our PARADIM theory staff.
Solid State and Quantum Chemistry Codes
JDFTx is a plane-wave density-functional theory (DFT) code designed to be as easy to develop with as it is easy to use. It is distributed under the GPL license (version 3 or higher) and publications resulting from its use must cite originating publication.
Associated Publication Must cite if code is used
VASP is a computer program for atomic scale materials modeling, e.g. electronic structure calculations and quantum-mechanical molecular dynamics, from first principles. (Available through PARADIM Collaboration only)
Materials Studio is a complete modeling and simulation environment designed to allow researchers in materials science and chemistry to predict and understand the relationships of a material’s atomic and molecular structure with its properties and behavior . (Licensed to CAU and available only via collaboration with Prof. Wang)
Quantum Espresso is an Integrated suite of Open-Source computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling at the nanoscale.
ABINIT is a program allows one to find the total energy, charge density and electronic structure of systems made of electrons and nuclei (molecules and periodic solids) within Density Functional Theory (DFT), using pseudopotentials and a plane wave or wavelet basis.
