Features
Pure Python-based architecture
Support to simulate the XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) pattern
Generating 3D 2D 1D 0D、 van der Waals (vdW)crystal 、MOF structures and Other structures with symmetry constraints
Restart the search at any time during the search
Support JSON format as input, be concise and easy to use
First-principles genetic algorithm (GA) for structural search
AISP currently interfaces with Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) to perform local optimizations in energy and force
AISP will support simulated annealing algorithm, and many hybrid optimization algorithms to do structure search
AISP will support PWDFT, Quantum ESPRESSO, Gaussian, Openmx, Siesta ... etc as optimizers in the future
