picht 2.2.0

Electron optics simulation tool

Picht

Electron optics in electric and magnetic lenses. Uses the axisymmetric view, computes static E- and B-fields, enables the parameterization of ion and electron beams, and allows you to view their trajectories in the vicinity of various kinds of electromagnetic lenses, with physically accurate and relativistically corrected dynamics. Allows for custom mesh sizes using the finite difference method, and is incredibly performant due to integrations with PyAMG, Numba, and Joblib. Works on all operating systems, is unit-tested, and works locally and on Jupyter Notebook with all dependencies handled by PyPi.
