Phonix
About
Phonix is a first-principles database for anharmonic phonon interactions.
Phonix v2026.03.28 targets approximately 20,000 inorganic, non-metallic, and non-magnetic compounds drawn from the Materials Project (v2022.10.28) and Phonondb (v2018-04-07), including thermal conductivity data for over 6,800 materials.
The database was generated using the automated workflow software auto-kappa (GitHub), which integrates VASP and ALAMODE for first-principles anharmonic phonon calculations.
