Introduction

CP2K is a quantum chemistry and solid-state physics package that can perform atomic simulations of solid state, liquid, molecular, periodic, material, crystal, and biological systems. It provides a general framework for different modeling methods. It supports DFTB, LDA, GGA, MP2, RPA, semi-empirical methods (AM1, PM3, PM6, RM1, and MNDO), and classical force fields (AMBER and CHARMM). CP2K can use NEB or dimer method to do simulations of molecular dynamics, metadynamics, Monte Carlo, Ellenfast dynamics, vibration analysis, core level spectroscopy, energy minimization, and transition state optimization.

Programming language: Fortran 2008
