phononTB

This is Tight-binding code for phonon

1. Model Hamiltonian (bulk phonon band, edge phonon band, phonon DOS, Willson’s loop, Berry curvature, Berry phase, implementation TRS breaking terms, visulization with v_sim, extract TB parameters from PHONOPY…)
2. Read Force constants from phonopy combined with other first-principles calculation codes such as VASP and Quantum Espresso
3. To be implemented: Non-equilibrium Green Function (NEGF), phonon-phonon interactions, atomic projected phonon DOS
4. Under development, Not released verison (contact info : hanwooh@gmail.com or hanwooh@kaist.ac.kr)
