[资源] VASP5.2发布了

VASP5.2 RELEASED
We are happy to announce the release of the new version of the Vienna ab-initio simula-
tion package VASP – VASP5.2. The new release contains many additional features which
enhance the functionality of the program package - we emphasize in particular the ability
to perform calculations using exact non-local exchange or hybrid functionals and of many-
body perturbation (GW) calculations. A list of all new features, including references to the
pertinent publications is given below.
New features in VASP5.2
?? Less memory demanding on massively parallel machines
(support by the IBM Blue Gene team is gratefully acknowledged)
?? New gradient corrected functionals
- AM05
- PBEsol
- new functionals can be applied using standard PBE POTCAR files
(improved one-center treatment)
Reference:
A. E. Mattsson, R. Armiento, J. Paier, G. Kresse, J.M. Wills, and T. R. Mattsson:
The AM05 density functional applied to solids, Journal of Chemical Physics 128, 084714 (2008).
?? Finite differences with respect to changes in the
- ionic positions
- lattice vectors
This allows the automated determination of second derivatives yielding
- inter-atomic force constants and phonons (requires a supercell approach)
- elastic constants
Symmetry is automatically considered and lowered during the calculations.
?? Linear response with respect to changes in the
- ionic positions
- electrostatic fields
This allows the calculation of second derivatives yielding
- inter-atomic force constants and phonons (requires a supercell approach)
- Born effective charge tensor
- static dielectric tensor (electronic and ionic contribution)
- internal strain tensors
- piezoelectric tensors (electronic and ionic contribution)
Linear response is only available for local and semi-local functionals.
?? Exact non-local exchange and hybrid functionals
- Hartree-Fock method
- hybrid functionals, specifically PBE0 and HSE06
- screened exchange
- experimental: simple model GW-COHSEX (applies empirical screened exchange function-
als)
- experimental: hybrid functional B3LYP

?? Frequency dependent dielectric tensor by summation over eigenstates
- in the independent particle approximation
- in the random phase approximation (RPA) via GW routines
- available for local, semi-local, hybrid functionals, screened exchange and Hartree-Fock

?? Fully frequency dependent GW at the speed of the plasmon pole model
- single shot G
0
W
0
- iteration of eigenvalues in G and W until selfconsistency is reached
- experimental: self-consistent GW by iterating the eigenstates in G (and optionally W)
- experimental: total energies from GW using the RPA approximation to the correlation
energy
- vertex corrections (local field effects) in G and W in the LDA (available only non-spin
polarized)
- experimental: many-body vertex corrections in W (available only non-spin polarized)

(non-spinpolarized only using Tamm-Dancoff approximation)

For all features marked ”experimental”, no support is available. These features are supplied ”as is”, they are
stable, but have not been widely applied and tested.
IMPORTANT: The present version of the code has been tested only using the Intel Fortran compiler
(ifc.10.X, ifc.11.X). Support for other compilers is presently not available.
IMPORTANT: Certain features implemented in the new version of VASP (exact exchange, hybrid
functionals, and GW calculations) are computationally very demanding. We advise all VASP users inter-
ested in using these functionalities to consult the publications listed above.
For all owners of a valid license for VASP4.6 we offer an upgrade at the conditions described in the draft
2
Page 3
for a new license agreement attached to this message. The fee for an upgrade will be 1000 Euro for academic
(undergraduate teaching) institutions and 2000 Euro for other public non-profit research institutions. The
license agreement for VASP5.2 will replace the existing license agreement for VASP4.6 - note that in certain
license agreements upgraded from VASP4.4 or older versions, the maximum number of users is higher than
fixed in the current agreement. If these licenses are upgraded, the limit of six users will apply in the future.
If owners of such licenses want to continue to profit of the more liberal terms for their use of VASP4.6, a new
independent license for VASP5.2 will be required. Licences for VASP4.4 or older cannot be upgraded. The
fee for new licenses to VASP5.2 will 4000 Euro for academic and 8000 Euro for other non-profit institutions.
Users interested in an upgrade of their licenses should complete the draft for a new license agreement
attached to this message and send it signed (in duplicate), together with a purchase order on the license fee
to

We emphasize that the terms of the agreement are not negotiable, modifications of the agreement will not be
accepted. Advance copies per fax (+43-1-4277-9514) are acceptable to speed up the procedure, but should
be followed by the signed originals per air mail.
