Overview

aiida-kkr is an AiiDA plugin for running KKR (Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker) Green's function calculations, providing workflow automation for KKR-based electronic structure calculations.

Scientific domain: KKR Green's function, workflow automation Target user community: KKR users needing automated workflows

Capabilities (CRITICAL)

  • KKR Calculations: Green's function method
  • Workflow Automation: AiiDA integration
  • Impurity Calculations: Defect modeling
  • Transport: Ballistic transport

Key Strengths

  • AiiDA workflow management
  • JuKKR code interface
  • Impurity embedding
  • High-throughput support

Requirements

  • AiiDA framework
  • JuKKR code

Installation

pip install aiida-kkr

Limitations & Known Constraints

  • KKR-specific: Only interfaces with JuKKR codes
  • AiiDA dependency: Requires AiiDA framework setup
  • Learning curve: AiiDA workflow and KKR method knowledge needed
  • Specialized: Green's function method less common than plane-wave

Comparison with Other Tools

  • vs aiida-fleur: aiida-kkr for KKR, aiida-fleur for FLEUR
  • vs masci-tools: aiida-kkr workflows, masci-tools post-processing
  • Unique strength: AiiDA workflow automation for KKR Green's function calculations
