Monte Carlo codes to simulate dipole-dipole interactions and ferroelectric domains in a hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell.
We have started to work on a more complete description and documentation,
available online:
A C compiler such as gcc is required for the main code, while various scripts and post-processing tools use a combination of python, julia, and gnuplot.
libconfig is used for lightweight config file parsing.
Mac OSX: brew install libconfig
Debian: sudo apt-get install libconfig-dev
make compiles the binary file starrynight
make test will run a series of test calculations based on the configuration file starrynight.cfg in the main directory

2016 - Extended to 3D, solid solutions, many further analysis tools, electrostatic potentials, Fermi-Dirac/Boltzmann hole/electron populations
2014-05-31 - Started work on Icarius
2014-01-29 - Added dependency on libconfig
