An open-source program for computing the first-order resonance Raman spectroscopy.
QERaman requires Quantum ESPRESSO version >= 7.0
Step 1: Download the latest version of QERaman inside the main Quantum ESPRESSO directory:
git clone https://github.com/nguyen-group/QERaman.git
Step 2: Go to the source code in the QERaman directory to install the code:
cd QERaman/src
make all
It noted that the reader should do make pw pp ph in the Quantum ESPRESSO directory before make all in the QERaman directory since the Makefile of QERaman is linked to the libraries PW, PP, and PH of Quantum ESPRESSO. The reader can also consider adding the QERaman/bin to the environment variables PATH.
The documentation can be found on the GitHub wiki page: https://github.com/nguyen-group/QERaman/wiki.
It shows the input variables description for raman.x, bands_mat.x, and ph_mat.x, and also the format of the output files.
The theory behind the QERaman code is described in our pre-print:

The implementation of QERaman is built on the Quantum ESPRESSO package, and the detail of the input variables can be found in the Quantum ESPRESSO book. If you use the QERaman code in your work, please consider citing the Quantum ESPRESSO package and book as well:
