Materials Square is a web-based cloud service for materials simulation developed and maintained by Virtual Lab in Korea.

This service provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for materials simulations at various scales, such as Density Functional Theory (DFT), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and CALPHAD with cloud-based high-performance computing servers.

Materials Square Modules[edit]

Materials Square consists of the following modules for each step of a simulation study: modeling, simulation, and results analysis.

Modeling[edit]

  • Structure Builder (for crystal structure)
  • Molecule Builder (for molecules)
  • Special Quasirandom structure (for quasi-random crystal structure)

Simulation[edit]

DFT[edit]

  • Quantum Espresso
  • SIESTA
  • GAMESS

MD[edit]

  • LAMMPS
  • ChemLAMMPS

Phase Diagram[edit]

  • CALPHAD

Analyzer[edit]

Quantum Espresso, SIESTA, GAMESS[edit]

  • Energy
  • Movie
  • Density of States
  • Band Structure
  • Charge Density
  • Optical Property
  • Atomic Analysis (GAMESS)
  • Surface (GAMESS)
  • Vibration Frequency (GAMESS)
  • UV-Vis (GAMESS)

Open Source Software[edit]

Materials Square leverages a suite of open-source software engines to facilitate simulation operations. These include Quantum ESPRESSO[1] for DFT Simulation with a Plane wave basis, GAMESS_(US)[2] for DFT simulations using an atomic orbital basis, Open Calphad[3] for CALPHAD simulations, and LAMMPS[4] for Molecular Dynamics simulations.
