NAME

       abinit - Ab initio atomic-scale simulation software

SYNOPSIS


                                          abinit < input file > log file

DESCRIPTION

        abinit is an atomic-scale simulation software and is part of the ABINIT project.

        ABINIT  is a package the 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).

       By default abinit reads an info block from standard input and logs  run-time  messages  to
       standard  output,  while  writing the results of the simulation to a file specified in the
       info block. The format of this info block is described in   abinit.files(5) .
