NCrystal : A library for thermal neutron transport in crystals and other materials
The ncrystal-core package currently contains the NCrystal library and
everything else needed to use the C or C++ APIs of NCrystal. It notably does
not include any Python modules and most of the command line scripts
(ncrystal-config being the exception), as those are provided in the
ncrystal-python package.
In conda and Python environments, it is recommended that most users simply
install and depend on the package named ncrystal which itself depends on both
ncrystal-core and ncrystal-python.
Installation of the ncrystal-core package more specifically provides:
- The NCrystal shared library (a binary file)
- This binary file (.so/.dylib/.dll) is really the "engine" behind NCrystal.
- Header files
- These files (.hh/.h) are included when using the C/C++ API of NCrystal.
- The
ncrystal-configcommand-line utility.- This binary executable can be used to get information about NCrystal. As long as it is your PATH, you can use it to find all the other components of NCrystal.
- CMake configuration files:
- Enables downstream CMake-based projects to use NCrystal via CMake
find_package(NCrystal)calls (but see the file<reporoot>/downstream_cmake/CMakeLists.txtfor how suchfind_packagecalls should actually be written to work with pip install'ed NCrystal.
- Enables downstream CMake-based projects to use NCrystal via CMake
- The NCrystal standard data library (NCMAT data).
- These might be distributed as actual files, or (the default) embedded directly into the shared library.
Referencing NCrystal in scientific work
A very substantial effort went into developing NCrystal. If you use it for your work, we would appreciate it if you would use the following primary reference in your work:
X.-X. Cai and T. Kittelmann, NCrystal: A library for thermal neutron transport, Computer Physics Communications 246 (2020) 106851, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2019.07.015
For work benefitting from elastic physics (e.g. Bragg diffraction), we furthermore request that you additionally also use the following reference in your work:
