Abstract

Harmonic, quasi-harmonic, and anharmonic phonon properties of crystals are getting to be better predicted using firstprinciples phonon calculations by virtue of the progress of the calculation methods and increasing computer power.In this review, basic formulae of phonon properties are reviewed with the phonon calculation examples performed using the phonon calculation codes, phonopy and phono3py, combined with the first-principles calculations.The computational workflow to utilize the first-principles phonon calculation is straightforward and its automation is of great interest to science.Therefore, a few practical applications of the automated first-principles phonon calculations are also presented.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Researchers must typically integrate multiple tools such as Atomsk, LAMMPS, Phonopy, and OVITO, alongside literature or web search to retrieve force fields from databases like the NIST Interatomic Potentials Repository.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
