  • In this work, we present a Python package, qha, which can calculate the equation of state and various thermodynamic properties of both single- and multi-configuration crystalline materials within a user-specified pressure and temperature range in the framework of the quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA). Two examples, one for single-configuration calculation and the other for multi-configuration calculation, are also distributed along with source code. Apart from its versatility, qha has been tested to be both accurate and computationally efficient.
