ZenGui

ZenGui is a general-purpose graphic user interface for ab initio dynamical mean-field theory codes, which have been developed at the China Academy of Engineeing Physics. It should be used to generate necessary configuration files for them. Now it supports the following codes:

• All-in-one DFT + DMFT package (Zen)
• Dynamical mean-field theory engines (Dyson and DFermion)
• Quantum impurity solver toolkit (iQIST)
• Analytic continuation tools (ACFlow and ACTest)

More codes will be supported in the future. Now this code is under heavy development. PLEASE USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

For more details about how to obtain, install and use this ZenGui app, please visit the following website:

Any suggestions, comments, and feedbacks are welcome. Enjoy it!
