THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
In this tutorial we show how to generate Thermal Lines[1]. and Special Displacements[2] with YamboPy and then use them
to calculate different properties at finite temperature.
We will start from phonon calculations, interpolation of phonon modes, generation
of thermal lines/special displacements supercells and finally calculation of electronic properties ad finite temperature.
This tutorial requires a deep knowledge of phonon calculations, and the study of Refs.[1],[2].
Phonons
Phonon calculation
In order to generate Thermal-lines or Special Displacements we need a converged phonon calculation. We will take as example bulk Diamond.
In the file Diamond_Phonons.tgz you will find all inputs to generate phonon band
