pymatgen-analysis-diffusion

Formerly pymatgen-diffusion, this is an add-on to pymatgen for diffusion analysis that is developed by the Materials Virtual Lab. Note that it relies on pymatgen for structural manipulations, file io, and preliminary analyses. This is and will always be, a scientific work in progress. Pls check back regularly for more details.

Major Update (v2021.3.5)

pymatgen-analysis-diffusion is now released as a namespace package pymatgen-analysis-diffusion on PyPI. It should be imported via pymatgen.analysis.diffusion instead pymatgen_diffusion. To install this package via pip:

pip install pymatgen-analysis-diffusion

Features (non-exhaustive!)

  1. Van-Hove analysis
  2. Probability density
  3. Clustering (e.g., k-means with periodic boundary conditions).
  4. Migration path finding and IDPP.

Citing

If you use pymatgen-diffusion in your research, please cite the following work:
