Title: Turbomole 7.1 released
Post by: turbomaster on July 19, 2016, 04:06:27 PM

Dear Turbomole users,

Turbomole version 7.1 and TmoleX 4.2 have been released.

Release Notes of Turbomole 7.1

• New features:
• DFT calculations for periodic systems (module riper) [1]
• Analytic gradients now allow geometry optimization
• ECPs are available for energy and gradient calculations
• fractional occupation and smearing for metals
• band structure plots and visualization of the density
• DFT-D3 dispersion correction for energies and gradients

 
• RI-RPA gradients for unrestricted calculations (rirpa) [2]
• genetic algorithm for global structure optimization (see DoDo section in the manual) [3]
• COSMO isorad analytic gradients (rdgrad/grad)


• Efficiency:
• faster Davidson algorithm for TDDFT [4]
     Nonorthonormal Krylov space methods in combination with RI methods
     yielding 2-5 fold speedups in (TD)HF and hybrid (TD)DFT
     response calculations. 
• OpenMP/MPI parallel version of 2nd analytic derivatives (aoforce) 
• pob-TZVP basis set added for periodic boundary condition RI-DFT. [5] 


• Usability:
• New scripts and tools: 
• MD postprocessing tools for internal coordinates and rotational constants (log2int, log2rc)
• tm2ezspec - create input for ezspectrum (Franck-Condon factors, Krylov group: http://iopenshell.usc.edu/downloads/ )
• panama - generate input for visualization of unrelaxed difference densities from escf output
• IBO (intrinsic bond orbital) analysis (proper)

   
• TmoleX 4.2: 
• support of periodic boundary condition RI-DFT calculations 
• visualization of band structures 
• easier generation of user-defined building blocks in molecular builder 
• generation of combinatorial libraries by automatic permutation of substitutives
