Beta 0.5

2DMaterialsOpticalProps — 0.5 Beta Release
We’re excited to unveil the beta release of 2DMaterialsOpticalProps, an ab initio toolkit for exploring the optical response and spectroscopy of quasi-two-dimensional materials using advanced quantum-electrodynamic many-body theory
GitHub.

What’s inside:

• RPA current–current tensor (via Optabs.f90)
• GW self-energy & screened Coulomb interaction (via Sloss.f90)
• BSE solver for excitonic effects (via BSE.f90)
• Photon Dyson equation analysis for plasmon/exciton–polariton behavior (via Photon.f90)

All stages harness a Bloch basis from Quantum ESPRESSO, enabling comprehensive simulation workflows
GitHub.

Highlights:

• Produces spectra like optical absorption, EELS, dispersion relations—including plasmon and exciton-polariton features
• Ready-to-use Makefile supports major Fortran compilers (ifort, gfortran, etc.), with OpenMP for parallel performance
  GitHub.
• Based on a rigorous Quantum-Electrodynamic Many-Body framework, complete with GW corrections and self-consistent screening
