  • XCASCADE: Monte Carlo tool to follow temporal evolution of electron cascades induced by low
    intensity X-ray pulses. Executable version of the code is available under DESY license.


  • XCASCADE (3D): Monte Carlo tool to follow electron cascades induced by low intensity
    X-ray pulses in 3D space and time. Released open-source version with GPL license in preparation.


  • XTANT & XTANT+: hybrid simulation tools to study X-ray induced electronic and structural
    transitions in solids


  • XSPIN: hybrid simulation tool to study X-ray induced magnetic transitions in solids


  • BOLTZMANN SOLVER: solves classical kinetic Boltzmann equations for X-ray irradiated
    finite-size and bulk systems, using atomistic approximation


  • NanoDiff: the extended Two-Temperature model combined with electron density dynamics can follow relaxation of an irradiated sample between two successive X-ray FEL pulses, emitted at MHz repetition rate on up to microsecond time scales and up to tens of micrometer length scales


  • VOLINT: performs volume integration of simulated datasets with observables of experimental interest, e.g., atomic displacements or diffraction peak intensities


  • In development: SURFwiX ...
