Debian Science Project
Summary
Nanoscale Physics
Debian Science Nanoscale Physics packages

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Nanoscale Physics, which corresponds to the study of physical systems typically ranging from 1 to 100 nm in size. The properties of such systems usually depend on the number of atoms they are made of, while this number is still relatively large for an accurate description.

The nanoscale is the meeting point of classical and quantum physics. Previous research efforts were considering either smaller systems, for which everybody could develop their own methods and software independently, or much bigger systems, for which it was clearly impossible to provide a fine-grained description. Addressing the issues raised by the nanoscale requires however cooperative and coordinated efforts in a multidisciplinary context. This metapackage is part of such an endeavor.

You might also be interested in the debtag field::physics and, depending on your focus, in the physics and education-physics metapackages.

Description

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Science to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Science mailing list

ABINIT is a package whose main program allows one to find the total energy, charge density and electronic structure of systems made of electrons and nuclei (molecules and periodic solids) within Density Functional Theory (DFT), using pseudopotentials and a planewave basis.

ABINIT also includes options to optimize the geometry according to the DFT forces and stresses, or to perform molecular dynamics simulations using these forces, or to generate dynamical matrices, Born effective charges, and dielectric tensors. Excited states can be computed within the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (for molecules), or within Many-Body Perturbation Theory (the GW approximation). In addition to the main ABINIT code, different utility programs are provided.

This package contains the executables needed to perform calculations (however, pseudopotentials are not supplied). For a set of pseudopotentials, install the abinit-data package.

BINoculars is a tool for data reduction and analysis of large sets of surface diffraction data that have been acquired with a two-dimensional X-ray detector. The intensity of each pixel of a two-dimensional detector is projected onto a three-dimensional grid in reciprocal-lattice coordinates using a binning algorithm. This allows for fast acquisition and processing of high-resolution data sets and results in a significant reduction of the size of the data set. The subsequent analysis then proceeds in reciprocal space. It has evolved from the specific needs of the ID03 beamline at the ESRF, but it has a modular design and can be easily adjusted and extended to work with data from other beamlines or from other measurement techniques.

DRAWxtl reads a basic description of the crystal structure, which includes unit-cell parameters, space group, atomic coordinates, thermal parameters or a Fourier map, and outputs a geometry object that contains polyhedra, planes, lone-pair cones, spheres or ellipsoids, bonds, iso-surface Fourier contours and the unit-cell boundary.

Four forms of graphics are produced:

  • an OpenGL window for immediate viewing
  • the Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer (POV-RAY) scene language for publication-quality drawings
  • the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) for dissemination across the Internet
  • a Postscript rendering of the OpenGL window for those who want high-quality output but do not have POV-RAY installed.

File formats DRAWxtl can read include CIF, FDAT, FullProf (pcr), GSAS, SCHAKAL, SHELX, DISCUS and WIEN2k.

The European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility (ETSF) is a European network dedicated to providing support and services for ongoing research in academic, government and industrial laboratories.

The ETSF is divided into 7 beamlines, each of which is concerned with a specific scientific topic:

  • Optics ;
  • Energy Loss Spectroscopy ;
  • Quantum Transport ;
  • Time-resolved Spectroscopy ;
  • Photo-emission Spectroscopy ;
  • Vibrational Spectroscopy ;
  • X-Rays Spectroscopy.

To allow the adoption of its recommendations about standardization, the ETSF proposes different libraries and tools implementing or using these specifications, as well as widely usable pieces of software.

ETSF_IO is a library of F90 routines to read/write the ETSF file format. This package contains the user tools to:

  • check file conformance to the specifications;
  • extract data from files;
  • merge multiple files from parallel runs, as specified in the specifications.

FeynMF is a LaTeX package for easy drawing of professional-quality Feynman diagrams, illustrations that depict the fundamental interactions of subatomic particles. The diagrams may be created using either the Metafont or MetaPost programs. FeynMF lays out most diagrams satisfactorily from the structure of the graph without any need for manual intervention. Nevertheless all the power of Metafont or MetaPost is available for more obscure cases.

Note that you will need the texlive-metapost package in order to use the MetaPost-based version of FeynMF.

Finalcif is a full-featured CIF file editor to make editing and validation of CIF files easy. It collects all the information from a work folder needed in order to finalize a CIF file for publication. In any case, one can also import a valid CIF file to complete the information. In ideal cases, it takes one click to have a publication-ready file.

Essentially, one should have the corresponding CIF file for FinalCif in its original 'work' folder, which contains all other files such as SAINT list files, SADABS list file, SHELX list files, etc. that led to this CIF file.

Checking the final CIF file with the IUCr CheckCIF server is a one-click problem in FinalCif. One gets a web and PDF report or just a local PLATON CIF check for computers without internet.

FinalCif generates beautiful CIF reports in seconds for publication as MS Word files (also compatible with Openoffice etc.). The report includes tables of structure properties like R-values or atom parameters and a report text about the experiment conditions.

The button "save cif file" saves the current file under 'name'-finalcif.cif. FinalCif will never make changes to the original CIF file.

Fityk is a flexible and portable program for nonlinear fitting of analytical functions (especially peak-shaped) to data (usually experimental data). In other words, for nonlinear peak separation and analysis.

It was developed for analyzing diffraction patterns, but can be also used in other fields, since concepts and operations specific for crystallography are separated from the rest of the program.

Fityk offers various nonlinear fitting methods, subtracting background, calibrating data, easy placement of peaks and changing peak parameters, automation of common tasks with scripts, and much more. The main advantage of the program is flexibility - parameters of peaks can be arbitrarily bound to each other, eg. the width of a peak can be an independent variable, can be the same as the width of another peak or can be given by a complicated - common to all peaks - formula.

libjs-sphinxdoc is necessary for the Javascript stuff in the documentation.

Garlic is written for the investigation of membrane proteins. It may be used to visualize other proteins, as well as some geometric objects. This version of garlic recognizes PDB format version 2.1. Garlic may also be used to analyze protein sequences.

It only depends on the X libraries, no other libraries are needed.

Features include:

  • The slab position and thickness are visible in a small window.
  • Atomic bonds as well as atoms are treated as independent drawable objects.
  • The atomic and bond colors depend on position. Five mapping modes are available (as for slab).
  • Capable to display stereo image.
  • Capable to display other geometric objects, like membrane.
  • Atomic information is available for atom covered by the mouse pointer. No click required, just move the mouse pointer over the structure!
  • Capable to load more than one structure.
  • Capable to draw Ramachandran plot, helical wheel, Venn diagram, averaged hydrophobicity and hydrophobic moment plot.
  • The command prompt is available at the bottom of the main window. It is able to display one error message and one command string.

Ghemical is a computational chemistry software package written in C++. It has a graphical user interface and it supports both quantum- mechanics (semi-empirical) models and molecular mechanics models. Geometry optimization, molecular dynamics and a large set of visualization tools using OpenGL are currently available.

Ghemical relies on external code to provide the quantum-mechanical calculations. Semi-empirical methods MNDO, MINDO/3, AM1 and PM3 come from the MOPAC7 package (Public Domain), and are included in the package. The MPQC package is used to provide ab initio methods: the methods based on Hartree-Fock theory are currently supported with basis sets ranging from STO-3G to 6-31G**.

Graph drawing addresses the problem of visualizing structural information by constructing geometric representations of abstract graphs and networks. Automatic generation of graph drawings has important applications in key technologies such as database design, software engineering, VLSI and network design and visual interfaces in other domains. Situations where these tools might be particularly useful include:

  • you would like to restructure a program and first need to understand the relationships between its types, procedures, and source files
  • you need to find the bottlenecks in an Internet backbone - not only individual links, but their relationships
  • you're debugging a protocol or microarchitecture represented as a finite state machine and need to figure out how a certain error state arises
  • you would like to browse a database schema, knowledge base, or distributed program represented graphically
  • you would like to see an overview of a collection of linked documents
  • you would like to discover patterns and communities of interest in a database of telephone calls or e-mail messages

This package contains the command-line tools.

Gwyddion is a modular program for Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) data visualization and analysis. It is primarily intended for analysis of height field data obtained by microscopy techniques like

  • Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM),
  • Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM),
  • Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM),
  • Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (SNOM or NSOM) and others. However, it can be used for arbitrary height field and image analysis.

This package contains the main application and its modules. It also contains a GNOME (and Xfce) thumbnailer which creates previews for all file types known to Gwyddion.

  • Visualization of scalar, vector and tensor data in 2 and 3 dimensions
  • Easy scriptability using Python
  • Easy extendability via custom sources, modules, and data filters
  • Reading several file formats: VTK (legacy and XML), PLOT3D, etc.
  • Saving of visualizations
  • Saving rendered visualization in a variety of image formats.

MayaVi2 has been designed with scriptability and extensibility in mind. While the mayavi2 application is usable by itself, it may be used as an Envisage plugin which allows it to be embedded in user applications natively. Alternatively, it may be used as a visualization engine for any application.

This package also provides TVTK, which wraps VTK objects to provide a convenient, Pythonic API, while supporting Traits attributes and NumPy/SciPy arrays. TVTK is implemented mostly in pure Python, except for a small extension module.

NCO is a suite of programs known as operators. The operators are stand-alone, command-line programs executable in a POSIX shell. Operators take one or more netCDF files as input, perform operations (e.g., averaging, hyperslabbing), and produce a netCDF output file. NCO was originally designed to manipulate and analyze climate data, though it works on any netCDF format datasets.

The KIM API is an Application Programming Interface for atomistic simulations. The API provides a standard for exchanging information between atomistic simulation codes (molecular dynamics, molecular statics, lattice dynamics, Monte Carlo, etc.) and interatomic models (potentials or force fields). It also includes a set of library routines for using the API with bindings for:

FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90/95, Fortran 2003 C, C++

Atomistic simulation codes that support the KIM API work seamlessly with the KIM-compliant interatomic models (KIM Models) distributed on this website. The interface is computationally efficient and often requires relatively minor changes to existing codes.

This package contains models and model-drivers for KIM-API

The lmfit Python package provides a simple, flexible interface to non-linear optimization or curve fitting problems. The package extends the optimization capabilities of scipy.optimize by replacing floating pointing values for the variables to be optimized with Parameter objects. These Parameters can be fixed or varied, have upper and/or lower bounds placed on its value, or written as an algebraic expression of other Parameters.

The principal advantage of using Parameters instead of simple variables is that the objective function does not have to be rewritten to reflect every change of what is varied in the fit, or what relationships or constraints are placed on the Parameters. This means a scientific programmer can write a general model that encapsulates the phenomenon to be optimized, and then allow user of that model to change what is varied and fixed, what range of values is acceptable for Parameters, and what constraints are placed on the model. The ease with which the model can be changed also allows one to easily test the significance of certain Parameters in a fitting model.

The lmfit package allows a choice of several optimization methods available from scipy.optimize. The default, and by far best tested optimization method used is the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm from MINPACK-1 as implemented in scipy.optimize.leastsq. This method is by far the most tested and best support method in lmfit, and much of this document assumes this algorithm is used unless explicitly stated. An important point for many scientific analysis is that this is only method that automatically estimates uncertainties and correlations between fitted variables from the covariance matrix calculated during the fit.

A few other optimization routines are also supported, including Nelder-Mead simplex downhill, Powell's method, COBYLA, Sequential Least Squares methods as implemented in scipy.optimize.fmin, and several others from scipy.optimize. In their native form, some of these methods setting allow upper or lower bounds on parameter variables, or adding constraints on fitted variables. By using Parameter objects, lmfit allows bounds and constraints for all of these methods, and makes it easy to swap between methods without hanging the objective function or set of Parameters.

Finally, because the approach derived from MINPACK-1 usin the covariance matrix to determine uncertainties is sometimes questioned (and sometimes rightly so), lmfit supports methods to do a brute force search of the confidence intervals and correlations for sets of parameters.

This is the Python 3 version of the package.

V_Sim visualizes atomic structures such as crystals, grain boundaries, molecules and so on (either in binary format, or in plain text format).

The rendering is done in pseudo-3D with spheres (atoms) or arrows (spins). The user can interact through many functions to choose the view, set the bindings, draw cutting planes, compute surfaces from scalar fields, duplicate nodes, measure geometry... Moreover V_Sim allows one to export the view as images in PNG, JPG, PDF (bitmap), SVG (scheme) and other formats. Some tools are also available to colorize atoms from data values or to animate on screen many position files.

The analysis of macromolecular structures often requires a comprehensive definition of atomic neighborhoods. Such a definition can be based on the Voronoi diagram of balls, where each ball represents an atom of some van der Waals radius. Voronota is a software tool for finding all the vertices of the Voronoi diagram of balls. Such vertices correspond to the centers of the empty tangent spheres defined by quadruples of balls. Voronota is especially suitable for processing three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules such as proteins and RNA.

Since version 1.2 Voronota also uses the Voronoi vertices to construct inter-atom contact surfaces and solvent accessible surfaces. Voronota provides tools to query contacts, generate contacts graphics, compare contacts and evaluate quality of protein structural models using contacts.

Gpiv is a Graphic User Interface program using the GTK/GNOME libraries for Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The program gives a quick overview of the parameter settings of the processes and allows to change them easy, running the processes, individually or in a chain, visualizes and displays the results. The processes that may be invoked by Gpiv are:

Image processing: typical image manipulations that might be needed for PIV interrogation.

Image interrogation, resulting into estimators of particle image displacements.

Data validation to test on outliers, peak-locking effect and velocity gradients over the interrogation area's.

Data post-processing: data manipulation, spatial and time scaling to obtain a velocity field from the PIV data, calculation of spatial averages, vorticity and strain.

A collection of programs for images that are generated during a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiment. This is a technique to obtain the velocity field of a fluid flow quantitatively and is performed by tracking tracer particles that have been seeded to a fluid. The technique is also applied for observing deformations at surfaces of (solid) bodies. The package contains:

  • an image processing program for typical filtering and manipulation routines that may be convenient for PIV.
  • an image interrogation program resulting into estimators of particle image displacements.
  • validation programs to test on outliers, peak-locking effect and velocity gradients.
  • post-processing programs for data manipulation (flipping, rotation etc), spatial and time scaling, calculation of spatial averages and derivative quantities from the PIV data, like vorticity and strain.
  • miscellaneous programs and scripts to perform image format conversion, batch-processing, pipeline processing (image evaluation, validation and post-processing at once), calculation of time averages from a series of PIV data sets, data-visualization and data-manipulation.

All programs start with gpiv_.

This package contains all files used by gpivtools and gpivtools-mpi, like the man pages.

FDMNES calculates the spectra of different spectroscopies related to the real or virtual absorption of x-ray in material. It gives the absorption cross sections of photons around the ionization edge, that is in the energy range of XANES in the EXAFS. The calculation is performed with all conditions of rectilinear or circular polarization. In the same way, it calculates the structure factors and intensities of anomalous or resonant diffraction spectra (DAFS or RXD). FDMNES also allows the comparison of the simulated spectra to experimental ones with the help of objective criteria.

exciting - wnpp
All-electron full-potential electronic-structure code
Responsible: Yann Pouillon
License: GPL
Debian package not available

exciting is a full-potential all-electron Density-Functional-Theory (DFT) package based on the Linearized Augmented Plane-Wave (LAPW) method.

It can be applied to all kinds of materials, irrespective of the atomic species involved, and also allows for the investigation of the atomic-core region.

We particularly focus on excited state properties, within the framework of time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) as well as within many-body perturbation theory (MBPT).

APE (Atomic Pseudopotential Engine) is a tool for generating atomic pseudopotentials within the Density-Functional Theory framework. It produces pseudopotential files suitable for use with SIESTA, OCTOPUS and ABINIT.

atompaw
PAW atomic dataset generator
Responsible: Yann Pouillon
License: GPL
Debian package not available

The computer program atompaw generates projector and basis functions which are needed for performing electronic structure calculations based on the Projector-Augmented Wave (PAW) method. The program is applicable to materials throughout the periodic table. It produces an output file containing the projector and basis functions and the corresponding matrix elements in a form which can be read be the PWPAW and ABINIT codes. Additional data files are also produced which can be used to help evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of the generated functions.

bigdft
Wavelet-based electronic-structure calculations
Responsible: Damien Caliste
License: GPL
Debian package not available

BigDFT is a DFT-based massively parallel electronic structure code using a wavelet basis set. Wavelets constitute a real space basis set distributed on an adaptive mesh (two levels of resolution in our implementation).

Thanks to our Poisson solver based on a Green function formalism, periodic systems, surfaces and isolated systems can be simulated with the proper boundary conditions. GTH or HGH pseudopotentials are used to remove the core electrons.

The Poisson solver is also integrated in ABINIT, OCTOPUS and CP2K.

liblevmar-2-6
Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear least squares algorithms
Responsible: Yann Pouillon
License: GPL
Debian package not available

The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is an iterative technique that finds a local minimum of a function that is expressed as the sum of squares of nonlinear functions. It has become a standard technique for nonlinear least-squares problems and can be thought of as a combination of steepest descent and the Gauss-Newton method.

This library provides native ANSI C implementations of the Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm, usable also from C++, Matlab, Perl, Python, Haskell and Tcl. Both unconstrained and constrained (under linear equations, inequality and box constraints) Levenberg-Marquardt variants are included.
