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://atztogo.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:
