| Sumario: | The Temperature Dependent Effective Potential (TDEP) method is a versatile and efficient approach to include temperature in ab initio materials simulations based on phonon theory. TDEP can be used to describe thermodynamic properties in classical and quantum ensembles, and several response properties ranging from thermal transport to Neutron and Raman spectroscopy. A stable and fast reference implementation is given in the software package of the same name described here. The underlying theoretical framework and foundation is briefly sketched with an emphasis on discerning the conceptual difference between bare and effective phonon theory, in both self-consistent and non-self-consistent formulations. References to numerous applications and more in-depth discussions of the theory are given. |
