A bird's-eye view on J-ICE
J-ICE can
deal with CASTEP,
CRYSTAL09
(as well as 06, 03 and 98), Gaussian09 (G03), GROMACS, QUANTUM
ESPRESSO, VASP, Wien2k, FHI-aim,
CIF, PDB and many others formats.
Both Jmol and J-ICE were
meant to be operative system independent. This is because of the J,
from Java, in front of their names. In a nutshell these two
packages run on Linux (or POSIX like operative systems), Windows,
MacOS X, etc.
Our GOAL
In the future we want to expand our interface, towards the analysis of crystallographic properties, now "easily" achievable with most of the current simulation packages.This is not an easy task, as simulation packages evolve continually. WE TRY TO CATCH UP!
At the present J-ICE is compatible with CRYSTAL09
and VASP.
In fact, the user can freely follow geometry optimization task as
well as manipulate frequencies data.

Acknowledgments
First of all I (Pieremanuele Canepa) would like to thank Dr Yves
Noel (at Université
Pierre et Marie CURIE, Paris, France) who has inspired me in
building such interface along many useful tips. My current
supervisor, Dr Maria Alfredsson, must not be forgotten for
having supported, with grit, my idea. Colleagues of Room 104 at the
Phisycal Sciences department at University of Kent, Canterbury, UK.
In sequence comes Prof.
Piero Ugliengo and his Group (Fabio Chiatti and Dr Marta Corno) for
their endless patience spotting errors and giving suggestions and Prof.
Dovesi for having very well welcomed my idea.
A
special thank also goes to Prof.
Robert Hanson at chemistry department of St. Olaf College
(Minnesota, USA) and the Jmol crew.
