In this tutorial we will see some on how to read and analyse the data contained in the Yambo netCDF databases, which are not readily available as human readable outputs.

In particular we will take a look at:

  • Lattice geometry data (Yambo database: ns.db1, Yambopy class: YamboLatticeDB).
  • Electron-phonon matrix elements (Yambo databases: ndb.elph_gkkp*, Yambopy class: YamboElectronPhononDB).
  • Dipole matrix elements (Yambo databases: ndb.dipoles, Yambopy class: YamboDipolesDB).
  • Exciton wavefunctions, energy and spectra (Yambo databases: ndb.BS_diago_Q*, Yambopy class: YamboExcitonDB).
