# Welcome to phonopy

**Phonopy** is an open source package for phonon calculations at harmonic and
quasi-harmonic levels.

[Phono3py](http://phonopy.github.io/phono3py/) is another open source package
for phonon-phonon interaction and lattice thermal conductivity calculations.

**PhononDB**: URL links of first principles phonon calculation data at
[nims.4197](https://doi.org/10.48505/nims.4197) are found at
<https://github.com/atztogo/phonondb/blob/main/mdr/phonondb/README.md>.
See {ref}`phonopy_yaml_phonondb`.
