  • band gap calculation
  • dos plot (total dos / orbital partial dos / atomic partial dos)
  • band structure plot (with color map enhancement)
  • incar/potcar/poscar generation
  • force analysys
  • Kohn-Sham orbital eigenvalue analysys
  • Infrared intensity analysis
  • dielectric constants
  • elastic constants (to add)

Version info

The current version is 1.0.4 at GitHub.

Expect updates upon request by Qiang Zhu at University of Nevada Las Vegas.
