Phonon Mode Explorer
Select a bundled calculation, inspect its structure and dispersion, and animate every available eigenvector directly from the band plot.

NaCl · Γ → X
The selected eigenvector is rendered in real space using phonopy mass scaling and Bloch phases. Γ-only files open directly in the spectrum and mode selectors because they do not contain a dispersion path.
Drop in phonopy output
Choose an animated fixture, then drop a single band.yaml, qpoints.yaml, or mesh.yaml file onto the explorer. Gzip-compressed
variants work too. Files without a band path remain explorable through the q-point and mode
controls.
