Phono3py

Description

Phono3py is an extension of Phonopy to handle phonon-phonon interaction related properties such as:

  • Lattice thermal conductivity
  • Phonon lifetime/linewidth
  • Imaginary part of the self energy to lowest order
  • Joind density of states (JDOS) and weighted JDOS.

User instructions

Phono3py is available via the modules system. To add it to your environment run:

$ module load phonopy/1.11.13.47

This adds the main phono3py program (called ‘phono3py’) to your environment, along with some more specialised programs.

Extensive documentation, examples and tutorials can be found on the phono3py website.
