WIEN2k


The program package WIEN2k allows to perform electronic structure calculations of solids using density functional theory (DFT). It is based on the full-potential (linearized) augmented plane-wave ((L)APW) + local orbitals (lo) method, one among the most accurate schemes for band structure calculations. WIEN2k is an all-electron scheme including relativistic effects.

How-to
  • ESRF:
    The binaries are installed on the central cluster under: /sware/exp/wien2k/wien2k_14.1/ Before running one of the executables one should copy and adapt the user configuration script:

>/sware/exp/wien2k/wien2k_14.1/userconfig

Also, in order to get the necessary libraries, one has to "source" a setup script with the following command: >source /sware/exp/wien2k/envar.sh

For more details, in particular on running the parallel version of WIEN2k, see the users guide (in "Documentation / Tutorials").

  • ALBA:
    The binaries are installed on claexperiments01 under: /mnt/hpcsoftware/WIEN2k/wien2k_14.2/parallel
