Hylight is post-processing package for luminescence related ab initio computations.

The Hylight Package

About

Welcome to Hylight's code repository!

Hylight is a post-processing tool written in Python to simulate the luminescence of solids based on the results of ab initio computations.

You may be interested in reading our first paper using it: Modeling Luminescence Spectrum of BaZrO3:Ti Including Vibronic Coupling from First Principles Calculations.

Installation

Hylight is published on PyPI. You can install it with pip

For a minimal installation (maybe you want to use some of the features on a cluster) use pip install hylight. For you own workstation, we recommend that you enable all optional features: pip install hylight[hdf5,plotting,phonopy].
