If you publish a paper in which SALMON makes an important contribution, we suggest you to cite the following articles.

  • If you use SALMON for electron dynamics calculations of a large-size system, Ref. [1] that discusses massively parallel implementation utilizing spatial divisions will be appropriate.
  • if you use SALMON to calculate electron dynamics in a unit cell of crystalline solid, Ref. [2] discussing formalism and numerical implementation will be appropriate.
  • Ref. [3] is one of the first implementations of the real-time time-dependent density functional calculation, in particular, instantaneous kick for the linear response calculations.
  • If you use multiscale calculation coupling Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic fields of light and electron dynamics, Ref. [4] discussing the formalism and the numerical implementation will be appropriate.
  • Ref. [5] describes parallelization method for the coupled Maxwell - TDDFT calculations.
  • Ref. [6] describes computational aspects of electron dynamics calculations for periodic systems in many-core processors:
