Python toolkit for generating and analyzing nanostructure data

Project description

scikit-nano

scikit-nano is a python toolkit for generating and analyzing nanostructure data.

Currently, its primary utility is generating nanostructure data (i.e. atomic coordinates) for the following nanostructure materials:

  • Graphene:

    • Single layer graphene

    • Bi-layer graphene with layers rotated relative to each other by any angle and different layer stacking arrangements

    • N-layer graphene

  • Nanotubes:

    • Single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs)

    • SWNT bundles

    • Multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs)

    • MWNT bundles

It currently supports saving structure data in the following formats:

  • LAMMPS data

  • xyz

Secondary to its structure generating functions are its structure analysis tools including:

  • defect/vacancy structure analysis

  • nearest-neighbor analysis

Installation

You can install the latest stable release from the Python Package Index using pip:

> pip install scikit-nano

Alternatively you can download a source code tarball from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/scikit-nano or clone the source code from the github repo using git:

> git clone https://github.com/androomerrill/scikit-nano.git

cd into the source code directory and run:

> python setup.py install

These commands will probabily fail if you don’t have admin privileges. In that case, try installing to the user base directory. Using pip:

> pip install --user scikit-nano

Or from source:

> python setup.py install --user
