The CRYSTAL Team is pleased to announce the release of CRYSTAL14 (current version: v1.0.3). CRYSTAL14 is a major release and the most relevant new features are:
- Static first- and second-hyperpolarizability and the corresponding electric susceptibilities tensors through a Coupled Perturbed HF/KS scheme
- Improved phonon dispersion calculation (phonon band structure and DOSs, ADPs and Debye-Waller factors, …)
- Raman and IR intensities through a CPHF/KS approach
- Automated calculation of the piezoelectric and photoelastic tensors of crystalline systems
- New DFT functionals: mGGA, Range-separated hybrids and Double-hybrids
- Automatic generation of fullerene-like structures
- New tools to model low-dimensionality systems (nanorods, nanoparticles, …)
- New tools for the treatment of solid solutions
- Improved Massive-parallel version (MPPcrystal – distributed memory)
- Internal interface to CRYSCOR for electronic structure calculations of 1D,- 2D- and 3D-periodic non-conducting systems at the L-MP2 correlated level and Double-Hybrids
- Internal interface to TOPOND for topological analysis of the charge density
