Overview
AFLOW is a comprehensive materials science platform that leverages computational methods to generate and curate a vast database of material properties. It provides access to calculated properties, crystal structures, and related information for millions of inorganic crystalline compounds. AFLOW uses density functional theory (DFT) calculations to predict materials properties, including electronic band structures, elastic constants, and thermodynamic properties. The platform offers a suite of tools for materials discovery, design, and characterization. It is designed for researchers, scientists, and engineers in materials science, chemistry, physics, and related fields, facilitating the development of new materials for various applications.
