The FPLO code has been developed at IFW Dresden (Institute for Theoretical Solid State Physics, Group Numerical Solid State Physics and Simulation).

Collaboration with MPI CPfS, (Dept. of Chemical Metal Science, Emmy-Noether-Group) is gratefully acknowledged.

From FPLO-7 on essential ideas by Bernhard Delley, PSI Villingen, were incorporated.

Principal developer: Klaus Koepernik

Major contributions (alphabetic order):

• Igor Chaplygin (LSDA+U module)
• Arthur Ernst (OPW: precursor code)
• Helmut Eschrig (overall strategy; OLCAO: precursor code)
• Claire Loison (Optical spectra module, not yet public)
• Ulrike Nitzsche (Compiler and migration issues, hardware)
• Ingo Opahle (4-component relativistic version)
• Alim Ormeci (ELF and GGA modules, not yet public)
• Helge Rosner (critical application and testing)
• Manuel Richter (strategy; RLCAO: precursor code)
• Ferenc Tasnadi (Slab- and rod-versions, not yet public)

Further contributions, suggestions, and error reports by many collegues. Special thanks to Bernard Delley.
