MedeA VASP 5.2

VASP 5.2, released in mid 2009, represents a breakthrough in the calculation of electronic and optical properties for semiconductors and insulators of industrial importance: based on an efficient implementation of hybrid functionals and the GW methods.

VASP 5.2 offers linear response calculations of properties such as Born effective charges and piezoelectric tensors.

The program is fully integrated in the MedeA platform with a graphical user interface and analysis capabilities.
