About

mag2exp is a Python package, integrated with Jupyter, providing:

• simulations of experimental techniques perfomed on magnetisation textures,
• the ability to perform "virtual" experiments,
• the functionality to compare of real experimental results agaist simulated experiments.

It is available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. It requires Python 3.8+.
