About

Ramannoodle is a Python API for efficiently calculating Raman spectra from first principles calculations. Ramannoodle supports molecular-dynamics- and phonon-based Raman calculations and includes interfaces with VASP.

Ramannoodle is designed from the ground up to be:

1. EFFICIENT

   Ramannoodle provides PolarizabilityModel's to reduce the required number of first-principles polarizability calculations.

2. FLEXIBLE

   Ramannoodle provides a simple, object-oriented API that makes calculations a breeze while offering plenty of flexibility to carry out advanced analyses and add new functionality.

3. TRANSPARENT

   Ramannoodle is designed to give the user a good understanding of what is being calculated at varying levels of abstraction.

Ramannoodle includes interfaces with:

• VASP
• phonopy (planned)

Installation

Ramannoodle can be installed via pip:

$ pip install ramannoodle
