Atomistix is a provider of software solutions for development of nanotechnology. Since its incorporation in Copenhagen (2003), the company has been working in close collaboration with the Nano-Science Center at the Niels Bohr Institute of Copenhagen University.
In January 2009 QuantumWise bought all assets of Atomistix, after it went bankrupt.
QuantumWise releases a new version of their atomic-scale modeling platform software
QuantumWise announced the 2015 version of their Virtual NanoLab and Atomistix ToolKit atomic-scale modeling platform software. The company says that this new version includes several performance updates and new features - such as electron-phonon interaction, a new Job Manager, and a long range of analysis functions for molecular dynamics simulations. The company also announced that Virtual NanoLab (but not ATK) is now available completely free of charge to academic users.
Specifically for spintronics research, the new version introduces performance and parallelization improvements which can definitely benefit non-collinear and spin-orbit calculations. In addition, spin-orbit coupling have been updated to perform better.
QuantumWise releases a new ATK software version with new spintronics features
QuantumWise released a new version of their Atomistix ToolKit (ATK) simulation software. The new version speeds up simulation performance by 40%. The new version also includes several new features, including noncollinear spin enables computations of spin transfer torque and other properties of magnetic tunnel junctions.

ATK 2014 introduces several new methodology improvements which make noncollinear simulations fast and robust. ATK thus enables studies of transport problems using Non-Equilibrium Greenâs Functions (NEGF) combined with density functional theory (DFT), including spin-orbit interaction and meta-GGA functionals for accurate band gap predictions of the insulating barrier in the MTJ.
QuantumWise releases new version of their simulation software
QuantumWise A/S is announcing a new release of its software package for atomic-scale simulations of nanoscale electronic and spintronic devices, Atomistix ToolKit (ATK). This code is able to compute electronic structure and transport properties (e.g. I-V characteristics) of nanoscale structures such as nanotubes, graphene, molecular electronics devices, magnetic tunnel junctions and other magnetic system, interface structures, nanowires, etc.
Based on semi-empirical methods, the newly released package extends the company's modeling platform, which already comprises a density-functional theory (DFT) method, to allow faster simulations of larger structures (>1,000 atoms). The new model also offers a better description of semiconducting materials.
Moreover, a new electrostatic model is introduced, which supports inclusion of an arbitrary configuration of dielectric and metallic regions. These gates are described fully self-consistently electrostatically, and this allows for a realistic multi-scale simulation of nanoscale transistor structures.
The QuantumWise platform is based on an open architecture which integrates a Python-based scripting language, NanoLanguage, with a graphical user interface, Virtual NanoLab. The new release extends this platform by including support also for GPAW, an external grid-based DFT code specifically designed for applications within catalysis and surface science.
QuantumWise - new Spintronics software company, buys assets of Atomistix
We just hear that Atomistix went bankrupt, and QuantumWise has bought all assets. QuantumWise is a start-up born at the Nano-Science Center and the E-Science Center at Copenhagen University in Denmark.
QuantumWise develops software which in particular can be used for research related to future electronic devices such as transistors and memory circuits. This paves the way for computers and storage devices with radically better performance and capacity than today.
