The exciting Code
exciting is a full-potential all-electron density-functional-theory (DFT) package based on the linearized augmented plane-wave (LAPW) method. It can be applied to all kinds of materials, irrespective of the atomic species involved, and also allows for the investigation of the atomic-core region.

- HoW exciting! Hands-on Workshop on Excitations 2012. HU Berlin, August 2-8, 2012.
The main goal of this Tutorial is to introduce young scientists to the theoretical foundations of state-of-the-art first-principles techniques based on and going beyond densitiy-functional theory (DFT). On the same occasion, there will be the opportunity to put this knowledge into practice through hands-on exercises with the software package exciting.
- Helium-3
- We are happy to present exciting helium-3, the new isotope release of the exciting code. It contains and bug fixes, and improved documentation.
