libcasm-mapping
The libcasm-mapping package is the CASM structure mapping module. This includes:
- Methods for searching for low-cost lattice, atom, and structure mappings, taking into account symmetry, based on the approach described in the paper Thomas, Natarajan, and Van der Ven, npj Computational Materials, 7 (2021), 164.
- Methods for generating interpolated structures based on mapping results
- Methods for generating symmetrically equivalent mappings
- Data structures and methods for creating custom mapping searches
Install
pip install libcasm-mapping
Usage
See the libcasm docs.
About CASM
The libcasm-mapping package is part of the CASM open source software package, which is designed to perform first-principles statistical mechanical studies of multi-component crystalline solids.
CASM is developed by the Van der Ven group, originally at the University of Michigan and currently at the University of California Santa Barbara.
