MedeA-VASP 5.2
VASP 5.2, which was released in mid 2009,
represents a breakthrough in the calculation
of electronic and optical properties for
semiconductors and insulators of industrial
importance. This is based on an efficient
implementation of hybrid functionals and the
GW methods. Furthermore, VASP 5.2 offers
linear response calculations of properties such
as Born effective charges and piezoelectric
tensors. The program is fully integrated in the
MedeA platform with a graphical user
interface enabling the computation of the
following properties:
Properties from VASP 5.2
Total electronic energy of any 3D periodic
arrangement of atoms
Forces on atoms
