Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) 6.4.2

The Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) is a package for performing quantum mechanical molecular dynamics (MD) using quasi-potentials and a smooth wave cut. The approach implemented in VASP is based on a finite-temperature local density approximation (with free energy as the amount of change) and a detailed evaluation of the instantaneous electronic ground state in each MD step using effective matrix designs and Pulay mixing scheme. . These techniques avoid all the problems encountered in the original Car-Parrinello method based on the simultaneous integration of electrons and ionic equations of motion. Interactions between ions and electrons are described using Vanderbilt ultrasoft (US-PP) quasi-potentials or the Advanced Projector Wave Method (PAW). Both techniques allow for a significant reduction in the number of waves per atom for transition metals and first-order elements. The forces and stress can be easily calculated with VASP and used to relax the atoms in their instantaneous pitches.
