Welcome to phonopy

Phonopy is an open source package for phonon calculations at harmonic and quasi-harmonic levels.

Phono3py is another open source package for phonon-phonon interaction and lattice thermal conductivity calculations.

PhononDB: URL links of first principles phonon calculation data at nims.4197 are found at https://github.com/atztogo/phonondb/blob/main/mdr/phonondb/README.md. See {ref}phonopy_yaml_phonondb.

The following features of phonopy are highlighted:
