CRYSTAL

A solid-state electronic-structure package using localized Gaussian basis functions for Hartree–Fock, DFT and hybrid-functional calculations.

Where it fits

Crystalline energetics, dielectric response and vibrational properties using localized bases.

Limits and practical considerations

Diffuse functions and integral thresholds need care in periodic systems; parallel editions have different entitlements.

Licensing and access

Paid proprietary licensing through CRYSTAL Solutions; platform and massively parallel extensions are licence-dependent.
