Dear Mohammad,

You can use " Siesta program", it's free but under Linux. It's based on FDT, specifically Shame and Kohen. It's there, on the official site. Regards.

SIESTA, QE, Abinit, ELK .....

You can use Quantum espresso, Akai-kkr ...

It depends on which type of system do you intend to use the DFT code: open or non-periodic system (quantum chemistry methods) or periodic system (quantum solid-state methods). See an almost complete list of free/commercial codes here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_quantum_chemistry_and_solid-state_physics_software.

I know a free software names Exciting:

GAMESS is a good choice.

Hello,

Try Orca and Gabedit.

Gabedit , an interface for orca and other DFT calculating tools.

QUANTUMESPRESSO is a good choice

https://www.quantum-espresso.org/

You can use SIESTA or ABINIT.

Material Studio is not free. However, Material studio is the most user friendly DFT software through its graphical interface. I strongly advice.

You can follow CASTEP software

CASTEP

ORCA for finite structures.

Dear Mohammad R. Thalji ,

There are not so small number of tools which can calculate DFT. Let me try to give a little bit of context.

I want to point out two high level distinctions: The first is time dependent vs. static methods, and second is periodic boundary conditions vs. non-periodic or isolated systems. Largely this second distinction is also turns out to be a distinction computation quantum "physics" and computational quantum "chemistry".

Non-periodic quantum dynamics simulations using density functional theory are less common than static DFT calculations, but are probably growing in prevalence. Methods like TDDFT for non-periodic systems can be performed using many standard quantum chemistry packages including GAMESS, which is available (including source code) at no cost1. Faster codes are available, but they cost money -- if you have access to GPUs, TeraChem is probably the fastest2. Both of these packages are able to run the full gamut of static DFT calculations on isolated systems.

In periodic systems, a commonly used DFT-based dynamics method is Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics. One open source package for Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (and other periodic boundary condition DFT electronic structure methods) is Quantum Espresso3. A popular non-free code for these types of calculations is VASP4. Again, both of these codes can run a variety of static DFT calculations as well.

2. you should find three zip files at the end including the package and the source code.

2. Abinit: https://www.abinit.org/

3. CPMD: https://www.cpmd.org/wordpress/index.php/download/#

4. But with CPMD you should have an account with them or apply for the licence through here: https://www.cpmd.org/wordpress/index.php/download/apply-for-a-license/

If you need anything, please let me know.
