CASTEP

Dear Ashraf,

In general, you should take a look at the CASTEP website (http://www.castep.org) for CASTEP queries; in particular, there's a section on "GettingCASTEP" (http://www.castep.org/CASTEP/GettingCASTEP) with the information you need.

The basic story is that CASTEP is freely available within the UK, and sold world-wide by BIOVIA (formerly Accelrys), as part of their "Materials Studio" product. There is also a fairly cheap source-code licence for researchers in Europe.

Materials Studio information is at:

http://accelrys.com/products/collaborative-science/biovia-materials-studio/

Materials Studio provides a graphical user interface and visualisation tool for a large range of different simulation programs, of which CASTEP is only one. The various simulation programs are sold in different "packages" so you will need to purchase the "base" Materials Studio package and a package containing the CASTEP module.

I should point out that, unfortunately, the Materials Studio GUI only runs under Windows, though CASTEP itself will of course run on just about any modern operating system.

All the best,

Phil Hasnip

(CASTEP developer)
