  • #Stayathome with Yambo

    #Stayathome with Yambo

    In this challenging time when many scientists and students are enforced to stay at home, we invite all people interested in learning the theory behind the yambo code and its usage to have a look to the video lectures recorded in the occasion of the recent Yambo school at ICTP in Trieste and follow the online tutorials. The…

  • Reproducibility in G0W0 calculations for solids

    Reproducibility in G0W0 calculations for solids

    The importance of validating codes and best practice for GW calculations. A community effort involving Yambo, Abinit and BerkeleyGW provides a framework for users and developers to validate the precision of new applications and methodological improvements relating to GW codes. Plane-wave GW codes give the same results provided everything is very carefully converged but can differ dramatically when not.…
