Overview Teaching of classical and DFT “ab-initio” calculations( samples of bulk, slab, particle structures, thin-film, alloys, etc) Using Atomistic Simulation Environment (ASE) and GPU-based software for calculations ASE universality: electronic structure codes + LAMMPS or ABINIT or CP2K or GPAW, with GPU- support ASE exercises: tests of defect energies, heats of formation, elastic constants, etc. Conclusion
3
Main Goal: “Teaching for calculate basic structural properties of single crystals, formation energies of defects, and structural and elastic properties of simple nanostructures, using GPU (NVidia, ATI and both)” Need to learn formats of input parameter files, atomic conguration files, and output files of ab-initio code (CP2K, Abinit, GPAW) classical code (LAMMPS) Need to create atomic congurations for single crystal structures, crystallic compounds, point defects (vacancies, interstitials, substitutions), planar defects (varying surfaces, stacking faults), and strained structures
4
Need a tool applicable to quickly evaluate basic properties from classical potentials and ab-initio methods. Ideally, a single universal tool would be able to create basic atomic congurations and manipulate them serve these atomistic congurations as inputs to a variety of methods/simulation codes and obtain energies Anything like that available? Atomistic Simulation Environment (ASE)
5
Atomistic Simulation Environment (ASE) v. 3.0 universal Python interface to many DFT codes (calculators), with visualization, simple GUI, documentation, and tutorials creates molecules, crystal structures, surfaces, nanotubes, analyzes symmetry and spacegroups provides support for Equation of state, structure optimization,dissociation, diusion, constrains, NEB, vibration analysis, phonon calculations, infrared intensities, molecular dynamics, STM, electron transport, …

-- and CP2K – DFT-based molecular dynamics code (consist in old version ASE 2.0)
15
Conclusions ASE provides a universal interface to many electronic- structure codes ASE interface for LAMMPS, ABINIT and CP2K on GPU was utilized in learning students Following the LAMMPS example, ASE can provide support to other classical and “ab-initio” codes ASE simplies and increases eciency of atomistic simulation learning
