BerryPI is a software for the calculation of Berry phase and related properties of solids (including topological materials) with WIEN2k density functional package.
Version July 28, 2022 (added Chern number and Berry flux map calculation)
Version July 4, 2022 (added Wannier charge centers for characterization of topological materials and improved handling of SCRATCH for parallel calculations)
Version Jan 15, 2021 (args synced with WIEN2k; added two alternative pi-wrappings)
Version Dec 15, 2020 (polarization is generalized for non-orthogonal lattice vectors)
Version Sep 15, 2020 (python 3.X compatibility)
Version Aug 19, 2020 (new feature: characterization of Weyl semimetals)
