    Psi-k highlight. Non-linear response of solids and nanostructures: a real-time prospective

    In recent years many theoretical approaches and computational codes have been developed to study optical response of bulk materials, ranging from many-body perturbation theory to density functional like methods. However the major part of these approaches are limited to the linear optical regime. The few that are formulated in real-time are based on time-dependent density…

  • New tutorial on parallelization of non-linear optics calculations

    New tutorial on parallelization of non-linear optics calculations

    A new tutorial on parallelization of the non-linear response is available here. We explain the different level of available parallelization and how to run calculations that require large memory.

  • Yambo goes fully GPL

    Yambo goes fully GPL

    Yambo 5.0 is a major release that comes with many new features and changes in the code. This becomes immediately evident browsing the yambo github repository. So far the GPL repository was a container of the released code extracted from the development repository. Since 2021 and yambo 5.0 the GPL and devel repository are fully…

  • New tutorial on optical properties at finite temperature

    New tutorial on optical properties at finite temperature

    A new tutorial on optical properties at finite temperature is available in the wiki web-page of Yambo.Notice that in the present implementation in Yambo different approximation are done that could givenot perfect results, please read the carefully the tutorial.

  • New tutorial on self-consistent GW on eigenvalues only

    New tutorial on self-consistent GW on eigenvalues only

    A new tutorial is available in the Yambo wiki on self-consistent GW on eigenvalues only  (evGW). In this tutorial we illustrate how to use Yambo to perform self-consistent GW calculations in G and W. Self-consistent GW on eigenvalues only is a good approximation when DFT wave-functions are not so different from GW ones, for example materials…

  • New tutorial on electron-phonon coupling

    New tutorial on electron-phonon coupling

    A new tutorial is available in the Yambo wiki on electron-phonon interaction. This tutorial starts from the calculation of electron-phonon matrix elements with Quantum Espresso and how to read them with Yambo. Then we explain how to calculated the effect of lattice vibration on the single particle levels, and how to use this correction to…
