Abstract
(en) Lumabi is a Python package within the AbiPy framework (Gonze et al., 2020) that automates the computation of phonon-resolved luminescence spectra of point defects and dopants in inorganic solids using the ABINIT first-principles software (Gonze et al., 2020). The package provides an end-to-end workflow: from ΔSCF density-functional theory calculations with constrained occupations, to the generation of defect phonon modes in large supercells, right through the generation of luminescence spectra based on Huang–Rhys theory (Huang & Rhys, 1950; Jin et al., 2021). Lumabi addresses the growing need for reproducible, automated workflows in defect physics (Bosoni et al., 2024; Lejaeghere et al., 2016), with applications ranging from quantum technologies (Dreyer et al., 2018; Wolfowicz et al., 2021) to phosphors for solid-state lighting (Fang et al., 2022; Lin et al., 2017; Pust et al., 2015). Tutorials and examples are available in the AbiPy Book.
