Line 1: Line 1:
 +====== Features ======
  
 +CP2K is a program to perform simulations of solid state, liquid, molecular and biological systems. It is especially aimed at massively parallel and linear scaling electronic structure methods and state-of-the-art ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations.
 +
 +CP2K is optimized for the mixed Gaussian and Plane-Waves (GPW) method based on pseudopotentials, but is able to run all-electron or pure plane-wave/Gaussian calculations as well. Features include the following.
 +
 +===== Ab-initio electronic structure theory methods using the QUICKSTEP module =====
 +
 +  * Density-Functional Theory (DFT) energies and forces
 +  * Hartree-Fock (HF) energies and forces
 +  * Moeller-Plesset 2nd order perturbation theory (MP2) energies and forces
 +  * Random Phase Approximation (RPA) energies
 +  * Gas phase or Periodic boundary conditions (PBC)
 +  * Basis sets include various standard Gaussian-Type Orbitals (GTOs), Pseudopotential plane-waves (PW), and a mixed Gaussian and (augmented) plane wave approach (GPW/GAPW)
 +  * PW DFT functionality (energy, forces, stress), including LAPW (all-electron)
 +  * Norm-conserving, seperable Goedecker-Teter-Hutter (GTH) and non-linear core corrected (NLCC) pseudopotentials, or all-electron calculations
 +  * Local Density Approximation (LDA) XC functionals including SVWN3, SVWN5, PW92 and PADE
 +  * Gradient-corrected (GGA) XC functionals including BLYP, BP86, PW91, PBE and HCTH120 as well as the meta-GGA XC functional TPSS

 +  * DFT+U (Hubbard) correction
 +  * Density-Fitting for DFT via Bloechl or Density Derived Atomic Point Charges (DDAPC) charges, for HFX via Auxiliary Density Matrix Methods (ADMM) and for MP2/RPA via Resolution-of-identity (RI)
 +  * Sparse matrix and prescreening techniques for linear-scaling Kohn-Sham (KS) matrix computation
 +  * Orbital Transformation (OT) or Direct Inversion of the iterative subspace (DIIS) self-consistent field (SCF) minimizer
