pyhrmc-dev 0.0.0

A Python implementation of Hybrid Reverse Monte Carlo for electron scattering of thin films

About

pyHRMc is designed for HRMC simulations using experimental electron pair distribution functions as a primary constraint. This packagerelies heavily and uses code from pymatgen, which is released under the MIT license.

Installation

Prior to installing pyHRMC, LAMMPS must be installed and built in serial. Additionally, if using a FLARE potential, LAMMPS must be compiled with FLARE. Instructions for these steps can be found at these links:

• https://docs.lammps.org/Install.html
• https://mir-group.github.io/flare/installation/lammps.html

To install pyHRMC, first create a virtual environment:

conda create -n pyHRMC pip python==3.11
conda activate pyHRMC

Installation can then be performed in the new environment. pyHRMC is currently available on PyPi for pip install:

pip install pyhrmc

If users desire to modify the code from their own needs, we recommend the following steps instead:

conda create -n pyHRMC pip python==3.11 
conda activate pyHRMC
git clone https://github.com/ehrhardtkm/pyHRMC.git
cd pyHRMC
pip install -e .
