As information processing technology improves, data-driven research is attracting attention in various fields.In particular, materials informatics, which can efficiently search for new materials from data analysis, is an important method that supports the development of next-generation materials.Therefore, this time, we will introduce the first-principles calculation software "CRYSTALWill introduce
What is CRYSTAL
CRYSTAL is a general purpose program for solid state chemistry and physics, including crystalline solids.
It supports atom-localized Gaussian basis, pseudopotential method, Hartree-Fock method, density functional theory, etc., and can perform various quantum chemical calculations.
Since its release in 1988, it has been used all over the world for over 35 years.
Unix/Linux/MacOSx version supports parallel processing by OpenMP and MPI.
Major features
- Hamiltonian
- Dielectric characterization
- Supports various quantum chemical calculations and simulations
- predefined basis functions
- GUI for crystal structure visualization and structural simulation
- Library for integration with Python
- Parallel processing by OpenMP and MPI (*optional function)
* "CRYSTAL 2022" released in December 12 is the latest version.
