    deMon2k:

    deMon (density of Montréal) is a software package for density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It uses the linear combination of Gaussian-type orbital (LCGTO) approach for the self-consistent solution of the Kohn-Sham (KS) DFT equations. The calculation of the four-center electron repulsion integrals is avoided by introducing an auxiliary function basis for the variational fitting of the Coulomb potential. Some of the features of the deMon package are:

    • Variational fitting of the Coulomb potential
    • Geometry optimization and transition state search
    • Born-Oppenheimer Molecular dynamic (BOMD) simulations
    • Time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT)
    • DFT basis sets for gradient corrected functionals
    • Calculation of properties like polarizabilities, hyperpolarizabilities, NMR, IR and Raman spectra and intensities, thermodynamic data
    • Parallelized code (MPI)
    • Interfaces for visualization software (Molden, Molekel, Vu)
    • Portability to various computer platforms and operating systems
