Very recent technical developments implemented in the code are outlined. We give illustrations of physical systems currently being studied with the code, ranging from biologically important molecules to Ge hut clusters on Si (001). Our studies of hut clusters require structural relaxation of systems of over 20,000 atoms using electronically self-consistent density-functional theory.engjournal article1879-2944https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2007.02.075restricted access54Orden-N Density Functional TheoryHarris–Foulkes approximationElectron densityProtein active siteFísica de materialesBioquímica (Química)2211 Física del Estado Sólido2302 Bioquímica
