Description
Octopus Project
Octopus Project is a cool program designed for virtual experiments on different types of systems. It's all about helping scientists explore and understand various materials in a fun, interactive way.
How Does It Work?
The Octopus Project uses something called Density-Functional Theory (DFT) to describe electrons in a quantum-mechanical way. When it comes to simulations over time, it switches to the time-dependent version known as TDDFT. Meanwhile, the nuclei are treated as classical point particles, which makes things simpler!
Understanding Electron-Nucleus Interaction
In this program, the interaction between electrons and nuclei is explained using the Pseudopotential approximation. This approach helps streamline calculations while still giving accurate results.
What’s New in This Release?
Here are some exciting updates you should know about:
- The complex executable has been removed; now everything runs on a regular (real) executable.
- The program automatically chooses the type of wavefunctions based on your input file, so you don’t have to worry about it!
- Dynamical polarizabilities can be calculated using linear response theory—pretty neat, right?
- There's basic support for full potential all-electron species too!
- No more texinfo documentation! It’s replaced with an easy-to-use online wiki that has all the info you need.
