Atomistix Virtual NanoLab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atomistix Virtual NanoLab (VNL) is a user-friendly software package for simulating and analysing the properties of nanoscale devices. The program simulates measurements through numerical calculations, the workflow resembling an actual experimental process, allowing the user to set up "virtual experiments" through atomistic modelling. It mainly focuses on design and evaluation of molecules, nanotubes, crystalline systems, semiconductors and two-probe systems (i.e. systems with a voltage- or spin bias).
The Virtual Nanolab is a graphical user interface running on top of the Atomistix ToolKit.

[edit] Features
- Ab initio DFT geometry optimization
- Non-Equilibrium Green Function evaluation of electrical properties
- Electron transport through two-probe systems
The engine performing the ab initio calculations in Virtual NanoLab is the Atomistix ToolKit (ATK).
