Abinit to yambo interface (a2y)

The interface to Abinit (updated to the latest production version) is available.

The a2y interface reads the KSS Abinit file that is normally generated prior to a GW calculation. More informations about how to generate the KSS file can be found here.

Synopsys

% a2y -F KSS_file

Options

-h Short Help.
-H Long Help.
-N force a2y to run in sequential mode (skip MPI).
-F <opt> Specify the name/prefix of the KSS file name.
-N Skip MPI initialization
-O <opt> Output directory
-S DataBases fragmentation
-a Lattice constants rescaling factor
-d Duplicate states (artificial spin polarization, for testing purposes only)
-t Force use of spatial inversion instead of time reversal symmetry
-w Force no wavefunctions

Note that, if your KSS file name is C2h3_surf.KSS you can either use

a2y -F C2h3_surf.KSS
or
a2y -F C2h3_surf
