This year the Yambo Developers’ meeting will be online. In the morning of Friday 4, 11 and 18 December. It will be the occasion to discuss new developments and recent achievement with the Yambo code. Topics will range from: accelerating calculations in 2D systems, to Yambo-Aiida interface, validation of the code, robots, python postprocessing etc….. Read More
During this confinement due to the Covid19 virus, ETSF offers online tutorials and courses for scientists. Go on the webpage ETSF’s Top Online Tutorials All the software necessary for these courses can be downloaded directly from the web, or through a Virtual Machine or a linux distribution specific for Material Science.
The “Computational School on Electronic Excitations in Novel Materials Using the Yambo Code” school at the ICTP has just ended. In this school we presented an introduction to many-body theory, a new version of the code that include all the non-linear response part. The new tutorials that are available in the wiki webpage. Moreover all… Read More

Three contributions will be selected and the… Read More
The Computational School on Electronic Excitations in Novel Materials Using the Yambo Code, introduces participants to post-DFT simulations, in particular many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) approaches and provide training in the calculation of electronic and optical properties of materials. The program will offer theoretical and technical lectures, as well as dedicated hands-on sessions where the students… Read More
I was invited to give a seminar at the conference of young Italian researchers. At this conference I will present a talk on the story of academic publishing. I will briflely present the story of academic publising, from the first journals to the modern publication system, passing through open access, impact factor, etc… I show… Read More
In this presentation I present the theory of phonon-assisted luminescence, in terms of non-equilibrium Green’s functions and time-dependent perturbation theory. We derived a simple formule for light emission in the limit of low excited carriers including excitonic effects and then included coupling with phonons by time-dependent perturbation theory. This approach is then applied to the… Read More
Single-layer monochalcogenides have recently attracted much attention in the scientific community for their strong non-linear response, in particular the second harmonic generation(SHG). The origin of this strong response is still debated. A strong mismatch exist between theory and experiments. In order to clarify this issue, in this work we performed first-principles calculation of linear and… Read More
Yambo is an open source project aimed at studying excited state properties of condensed matter systems from first principles using many-body methods. As input, yambo requires ground state electronic structure data as computed by density functional theory codes such as Quantum-Espresso and Abinit.Yambo’s capabilities include the calculation of linear response quantities (both independent-particle and including… Read More
