Welcome to phono3py#
This software calculates phonon-phonon interaction and related properties using the supercell approach. For example, the following physical values are obtained:
Cummulative lattice thermal conductivity and related properties
Imaginary and real parts of self energy (Phonon lifetime/linewidth)
Built-in interfaces for VASP, QE (pw), CRYSTAL, TURBOMOLE, and Abinit (see Interfaces to calculators).
API is prepared to operate phono3py from Python (example).
Papers that may introduce phono3py:
Theoretical background is summarized in this paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.91.094306 (arxiv http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.00691).
