Main functionality and features of VASP 4.6

  • All-electron projector-augmented-wave (PAW) potentials covering all atoms of the periodic table of practical interest

  • Generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation (LDA)

  • Spin-polarized and spin restricted

  • Semi-relativistic and full spin-orbit relativistic

  • Non-collinear magnetism

  • LDA (GGA)+U for correlated systems

  • Applicable to bulk systems, surfaces, interfaces, and molecules (in supercell geometry)

  • Total energies, forces, and the full stress tensor

  • Concurrent relaxation of lattice parameters and atomic positions

  • Ab initio molecular dynamics

  • Generation of Monkhorst-Pack special k-points

  • Integration in k-space with smearing or tetrahedron method (with Blöchl correction)

  • Band structure (spin restricted and spin polarized)

  • Site, spin and partial-wave projected densities of states (DOS)

  • Atom-projected charges decomposed into s, p,d and f-components

  • Total and atom-projected magnetic moments

  • Ultra-soft pseudopotentials for comparison with other calculations
