You can download Virtual NanoLab and ATK as one package for testing.
If you work as an academic researcher at a university, high school, or similar (but not including government labs), you can obtain a free, perpetual license for Virtual NanoLab by signing up.
Free VNL does not include the VASP Scripter. For that, you must purchase a license. Read more about Virtual NanoLab as GUI for VASP.
The free academic VNL license also includes ATK-Classical, for performing molecular dynamics (MD) and other simulations using empirical potentials.
It does not include any capabilities for running DFT or semi-empirical electronic structure calculations using Atomistix ToolKit (ATK).
Perpetual licenses for Virtual NanoLab (VNL) is for academic users only. Industrial customers are adviced to ask a quote through our contact form.
