Code Interfaces and Conversion Utilities
Bridge between different computational materials science codes. Convert input/output formats, interface with post-processing tools, and chain workflows across QE, VASP, phonopy, BoltzTraP2, and Wannier90.
Sub-Skills
| Sub-Skill | Directory | Description |
|---|
| VASP-QE Converter | vasp-qe-converter/ | Convert between VASP and Quantum ESPRESSO input/output formats: POSCAR/INCAR/KPOINTS/OUTCAR to/from QE pw.x input/output |
| BoltzTraP2 Interface | boltztrap-interface/ | BoltzTraP2 for Boltzmann transport: convert QE/VASP band structures, compute Seebeck, conductivity, thermal conductivity vs temperature and doping |
| Phonopy Interface | phonopy-interface/ | Phonopy for lattice dynamics: generate displaced structures for QE/VASP, import forces, compute phonon bands, DOS, thermal properties, IFC analysis |
| Wannier90 Interface | wannier90-interface/ | Wannier90 for maximally localized Wannier functions: QE pw2wannier90.x and VASP LWANNIER90, Wannier-interpolated bands, Berry phase, Z2 invariant |
Method Decision Guide
What do you need to do?
Convert VASP inputs to QE (or vice versa)?
--> vasp-qe-converter/
Compute thermoelectric transport properties (Seebeck, conductivity)?
--> boltztrap-interface/
Compute phonon band structure, DOS, or thermal properties?
--> phonopy-interface/ (for phonopy-based workflows)
--> Also see thermal-properties/phonon/ for the full phonon skill
Compute Wannier functions, Wannier-interpolated bands, or topological invariants?
--> wannier90-interface/
--> Also see wannier-functions/wannier90-workflow/ for the complete QE+Wannier90 pipeline
Already have DFT results and need to post-process with an external tool?
--> Check the specific interface sub-skill
