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. See the documentation at http://phonopy.github.io/phono3py/

Phonon database: A collection of first principles phonon calculations is available as open data at http://phonondb.mtl.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ , where the raw data of phonopy & VASP results are downloaded.

The following features of phonopy are highlighted:

  • {ref}Phonon band structure <band_structure_related_tags>, {ref}phonon DOS and partial-DOS <dos_related_tags>
  • {ref}Phonon thermal properties <thermal_properties_tag>: Free energy, heat capacity (Cv), and entropy
  • {ref}Phonon group velocity <group_velocity>
  • {ref}Thermal ellipsoids <thermal_displacement_matrices_tag> / {ref}Mean square displacements <thermal_displacements_tag>
  • {ref}Irreducible representations of normal modes <irreducible_representation_related_tags>
  • {ref}Dynamic structure factor for INS and IXS <dynamic_structure_factor>
  • {ref}Non-analytical-term correction <nac_tag>: LO-TO splitting ({ref}Born effective charges and dielectric constant are required. <born_file>)
  • {ref}Mode Grüneisen parameters <phonopy_gruneisen>
