exciting is a full-potential all-electron density-functional-theory package implementing linearized augmented planewave methods. It can be applied to all kinds of materials, irrespective of the atomic species involved and allows for exploring the physics of core electrons. As the name tells, exciting has a particular focus on excitations.
Discover the latest release of exciting sodium, introducing a number of exciting features, e.g.:
