WIEN2k, a solid electronic structure calculation program

■ This is an article posted on June 2019, 3, so the content of the information may be out of date.

Solid electronic structure calculation program package using DFT method (density functional theory) on Unipos website Wien2k Page has been added.

WIEN2k is based on "(L) APW + lo", which is an extension of the localized orbit to the full-potential (L) APW method, and is one of the most accurate methods for band calculation (band structure calculation). is.It is an all-electronic system that includes relativistic effects and has many functions.

About the features of WIEN2k

WIEN2k is built with a number of independent Fortran90 programs linked to each other via C-Shell scripts.

It can also be run on a web browser using the w2web interface (more experienced users can also run WIEN2k from the command line).

Main task (execution flow)

  1. Structure definition (cif-file import, spacegroup support, symmetry detection)
  2. Initialize (semi-automatic guided input generation)
  3. SCF cycle execution (with / without simultaneous optimization of atomic positions)
  4. Property Calculation (“Guided Tasks” in w2web)
