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.
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].
To learn how to use Hylight, you can read documentation and tutorial (or the PDF version)
