The CASTEP developers announce a new cost-free worldwide source code license to CASTEP and NMR CASTEP for academic use.
CASTEP is a leading code for the first-principles calculation of material properties. It is a parallel FORTRAN-based implementation of planewave pseudopotential density functional theory, and is widely used to compute energies, vibrational properties (such as infra-red and Raman spectra), electronic response properties, NMR parameters and more.
The CASTEP Developers' Group and Cambridge Enterprise are excited to announce a new worldwide, free-of-charge academic licence for CASTEP. The CDG looks forward to welcoming a global community of CASTEP users and developers.
This new licence supersedes both the former UK Academic Licence and the European Source-Code licence (formerly offered by BIOVIA).
