Welcome to the MuST wiki!

MuST is a research project supported by the National Science Foundation to build a public ab initio electronic structure calculation software package, with petascale and beyond computing capability, for the first principles study of quantum phenomena in disordered materials. The MuST package is now (as of January 1st, Year 2020) free to download on GitHub (https://github.com/mstsuite/MuST) under a BSD 3-clause license.

MuSt_software2

The ultimate goal of MuST project is to provide a computational framework for the investigation of quantum phase transitions and electron localization in the presence of disorder in real materials, and enable the computational study of local chemical correlation effects on the magnetic structure, phase stability, and mechanical properties of solid-state materials with complex structures.

MuST Team

The MuST project is a team effort, requiring to involve dedicated researchers from condensed matter physics, high-performance computing, computational materials science, applied mathematics and software engineering communities. The current participants of the MuST project include:

  • Wang, Yang (Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, Carnegie Mellon University, USA)
  • Eisenbach, Markus (Center for Computational Sciences, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA)
  • Xianglin, Liu (Peng Cheng Laboratory, Shenzhen, China)
  • Zhang, Yi (Kavli Institute for Theoretical Sciences, Beijing 100190, China)
  • Tam, Ka-Ming (Department of Physics, Louisianna State University, USA)
  • Terletska, Hanna (Department of Physics, Middle Tennessee State University, USA)
  • Chioncel, Liviu (Institute of Physics, Augsburg University, Germany)

MuST Installation Instructions

1. Download the package

> git clone https://github.com/mstsuite/MuST

2. Modify/Create your own architecture file, your_architecture_file, under the MuST/architecture/ directory

3. Build the excutables

> cd MuST

> make your_architecture_file

> make install

If the above procedures are successful, the excutable binaries are created under directory MuST/bin/.

Update the MuST Package on Your Computer

MuST package are periodically updated with new releases, including bug fixes and addiontional functionalities. You may update and rebuild your code using the following commands.

> cd MuST

> git pull

> make clean

> make your_architecture_file
