Software

SURFACE: A post-processing tool for Abinit density functional theory slab calculations to automate extraction and indentification of electronic surface states. It generates charge/probability density profiles that are analyzed in the context of their spatial localization. The program produces color-coded band structures.

EQMO: An equation-of-motion implementation for efficient electronic structure calculations. The code has been optimized to run on NEC SX-Aurora TSUBASA vector computer -- see this contribution in Computer Physics Communications for details as well as references therein for a more elaborate theoretical background information.
