The program package WIEN2k allows to perform electronic structure calculations of solids using density functional theory (DFT). It is based on the full-potential (linearized) augmented plane-wave ((L)APW) + local orbitals (lo) method, one among the most accurate schemes for band structure calculations. WIEN2k is an all-electron scheme including relativistic effects and has many features. It has been licensed by more than 3600 user groups and has about 19000 citations on Google scholar (Blaha WIEN2k). A recent extensive overview on WIEN2k is given in:

WIEN2k: An APW+lo program for calculating the properties of solids.

    The current version is

    WIEN2k_23.2

    and was released on 7. February 2023. Version 23.2 contains an important bug fix for cubic symmetries introduced in WIEN2k_23.1. Upgrading from version 23.1 is very important, results for cubic systems in WIEN2k_23.1 are unreliable. Upgrading from WIEN2k_21 (or earlier) is highly recommended too.
In the last years it became a tradition to have a "WIEN2k-workshop" every year, where new and experienced users can learn more about the code, get intensive hands-on training, interchange ideas and share experiences.
The

27. WIEN2k workshop

will be held at the

Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy

8. April - 19. April 2024

    We proudly announce that the

    3000th license of WIEN2k

    was granted free of charge to

    Dr. Daniel Ion Bilc, Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania

    We would also like to take the opportunity to thank all WIEN2k users for their continuous interest and the lively discussions on the WIEN2k-mailinglist. In particular we want to acknowledge all who have contributed to this package. This international cooperation is largely responsible for the success of WIEN2k.
