ATK 2009.11 includes updates to the semi-empirical model, many new features in the graphical user interface, and a preview of the next DFT version which supports electrostatic gates.


This release is an important step towards integrating the semi-empirical and the DFT models into one homogeneous environment.

Key updates:

  • Performance improvements and MPSH analysis in the semi-empirical model
  • A new Bulk Builder in VNL, plus new Custom Builders
  • Custom Analyzer tool, with an I-V curve analyzer
  • Support for import of xyz files and old two-probe structures from ATK 2008.10 (and earlier)
  • Improved work-flow in the GUI
  • Preview of the next DFT release

It should however be noted that ATK-DFT 2009.11 is not a complete replacement of ATK 2008.10, as it is still missing a few key features. Therefore it is considered an alpha-version, while VNL hereby is released in another beta-version.

This version is known not to function on Redhat-compatible Linux distributions (CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux, etc), due to an older version of GLIBC. Specific builds for these distributions are expected to be released within a few weeks.

For more detailed information, see the release letter!
