This is not the official VASP web page. Designed to simulate the properties of systems at the atomic scale, VASP (Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package) is a software package created, distributed, and maintained by the Hafner Research Group at the University of Vienna.
Description: VASP is a package for performing ab-initio quantum-mechanical molecular dynamics (MD) based on density functional theory (DFT) using pseudopotentials and a plane wave basis set. The approach implemented in VASP is based on a local-density approximation and an exact evaluation of the instantaneous electronic ground state that use efficient matrix diagonalization schemes and an efficient Pulay mixing. These techniques avoid all previous problems occurring in the original Car-Parrinello method which is based on the simultaneous integration of electronic and ionic equations of motion. The interaction between ions and electrons is described using ultrasoft Vanderbilt pseudopotentials (US-PP) or the projector augmented wave method (PAW) or the generalised gradient approximation (GGA). All techniques allow a considerable reduction of the necessary number of plane-waves per atom for transition metals and first row elements. Forces and stress can be calculated with VASP and used to relax atoms into their instantaneous groundstate.

VASP requires a license. Individual students or entire departments/faculties are not eligible, and therefore CU Research Computing does not have a VASP module for community use. Licenses are issued to well-defined research groups under the direction of a single chair, professor, or group leader at one single physical location. Group leaders may apply for a VASP license, after which they will be given access to the source code.
VASP is a software package for performing ab-initio quantum-mechanical calculation of a periodic arrangement of atoms using the projector-augmented wave method and a plane wave basis set. The package can perform density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations, or many-body-perturbation-theory (MBPT) like GW etc. Please consult the documentation to get a more detailed overview of its feature set.
where is a hash that is computed based on the modifications done to the VASP source code, or extra libraries included. See below for more details. Most of the modules should be self explanatory for experienced VASP users and you might be able to just get the hash from inspecting the module names from module avail VASP. If not, please read below for addition description.
adaptions_source_code determines if there has been adaptions to the source code, e.g. restrictions in the ionic motions. This can be the nor_ which does not enable relaxation along the first, second and third lattice vector (with set as x, y and z, respectively). Or, onlyr_, with similar . Finally, nor_angles will not allow any relaxation of angles.
At SUNCAT we develop software infrastructure for storing, retrieving and analyzing electronic structure to be used for modeling heterogeneous catalysis reactions. Through the web application CatApp we give web users access to reaction energies and barrieres for surface chemical properties and through CatMAP we provide a framework for microkinetic modeling of catalytic reations integrated with trend studies. We work on systematic development of exchange correlation functionals for chemical and materials properties relevant in heterogeneous catalysis. Our particular focus for the functional development is moving towards including error estimates in density functional theory, which we have established in the BEEF family of functionals. In our work on improved accurate methods we particular focus on parallelizing the random phase approximation in GPAW on graphical processing units. We also work on non-equilibrium Green's function transport, especially in relation to thermionic emission which we have implemented in the VASP code. All our developments in electronic structure theory is provided through the open-source atomic simulation environment ASE. For analysis of the atomic scale properties we rely on a number of state-of-the-art electronic structure codes such as GPAW, Quantum Espresso, FHI-aims and VASP, all of which we utilize through the ASE interface.
The Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) is the common part of the simulation tools developed at CAMd, Technical University of Denmark. ASE provides Python modules for manipulating atoms, analyzing simulations, visualization etc. At SUNCAT we use ASE as our high level simulation environment as a common interface to all the electronic structure codes and to integrate ionic dynamics and optimization. See more here
GPAW is a density-functional theory (DFT) Python code based on the projector-augmented wave (PAW) method and the atomic simulation environment (ASE). It uses real-space uniform grids and multigrid methods or atom-centered basis-functions. At SUNCAT we use GPAW for large systems and as our development code. See more here
Fritz Haber Institute aims is an accurate all-electron, full-potential electronic structure code package for computational materials science. At SUNCAT we use the aims code for detailed electronic structure analysis of small systems and for benchmarking of materials properties. See more here
If you choose to install your own version of VASP instead of using the executable built by PSC for Bridges-2, you must obtain the source code from the VASP developer at or from a distributor, e.g., materialsdesign.com.
The proprietary Vienna Ab Initio Simulation Package (VASP) code53,54 is used in this work for the calculation of band structures. The BoltzTraP code is open source and freely accessible. The python classes used to run the BoltzTraP code, extract its output, format it, and perform the accuracy check on bands are implemented in the pymatgen software72. Pymatgen is released under the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) License and is open source. The workflow depicted in Fig. 1 is implemented using the FireWorks software71, which is open source under a modified GPL (GNU General Public License). Although VASP is available only under commercial license, the present results can be reproduced by querying for the band structures in the MP database using the associated mp-id and then running BoltzTraP calculations.
For today's lesson, we will focus on one of these codes, VASP (Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package), which is a DFT code for atomic scale materials modeling. VASP is the DFT code used by the Materials Project for inorganic crystals. We will also use a second DFT code, Q-Chem, in the exercises which is used by the Materials Project for molecules.
To take parsing outputs from external codes one step further, we will introduce the concept of drones from the python code package, atomate. Pymatgen provides methods for parsing individual output files. Atomate drones combine these capabilities to parse entire output calculation directories and has an .assimilate() methode to produce a dictionary summarizing the results. This dictionary representation is helpful because it can be stored in a database as done with the Materials Project.
We can import workflows from atomate which are essentially the recipes that outline the steps for how to automate calculations from start to finish. There are many pre-built workflows in automate for common types of calculations. The best way to explore all available workflows is by checking the atomate source code linked below. * VASP Workflows: * Q-Chem Workflows:
Now that we a workflow in our LaunchPad, we are ready to run it. Normally we run fireworks through the command-line interface on supercomputers because external codes, such as VASP, require more compute resources. However, for today's demonstration, we will run our workflows locally in this notebook to illustrate how it works.
We present an open-source program irvsp, to compute irreducible representations of electronic states for all 230 space groups with an interface to the Vienna ab-initio Simulation Package. This code is fed with plane-wave-based wavefunctions (e.g. WAVECAR) and space group operators (listed in OUTCAR), which are generated by the VASP package. This program computes the traces of matrix presentations and determines the corresponding irreducible representations for all energy bands and all the k-points in the three-dimensional Brillouin zone. It also works with spin-orbit coupling (SOC), i.e., for double groups. It is in particular useful to analyze energy bands, their connectivities, and band topology, after the establishment of the theory of topological quantum chemistry. Accordingly, the associated library - irrep_bcs.a - is developed, which can be easily linked to by other ab-initio packages. In addition, the program has been extended to orthogonal tight-binding (TB) Hamiltonians, e.g. electronic or phononic TB Hamiltonians. A sister program ir2tb is presented as well.
