hexrd.material.material module
Module for XRD material class
Use the Material class directly for new materials. Known materials are defined by name in materialDict.
- class hexrd.material.material.Material(name=None, material_file=None, dmin=None, kev=None, sgsetting=0)[source]
Bases:
object
Simple class for holding lattice parameters, accessible by name.
The class references materials by name and contains lattice and space group data. default data is for nickel, but name is material
- DFLT_ATOMINFO = array([[0., 0., 0., 1.]])
- DFLT_ATOMTYPE = array([28])
- DFLT_CHARGE = array(['0'], dtype='<U1')
the dmin parameter is used to figure out the maximum sampling for g-vectors this parameter is in angstroms
- DFLT_DMIN = valWUnit("lp","LENGTH",0.75,"angstrom")
default stiffness tensor in voight notation
- DFLT_KEV = valWUnit("wavelength","ENERGY",80.725,"keV")
- DFLT_LPARMS = [valWUnit("lp","LENGTH",3.61,"angstrom"), valWUnit("lp","LENGTH",3.61,"angstrom"), valWUnit("lp","LENGTH",3.61,"angstrom"), valWUnit("lp","ANGLE",90.0,"degrees"), valWUnit("lp","ANGLE",90.0,"degrees"), valWUnit("lp","ANGLE",90.0,"degrees")]

- DFLT_SGNUM = 225
- DFLT_SGSETTING = 0
- DFLT_SSMAX = 100
- DFLT_STIFFNESS = array([[1., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.], [0., 1., 0., 0., 0., 0.], [0., 0., 1., 0., 0., 0.], [0., 0., 0., 1., 0., 0.], [0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0.], [0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1.]])
some materials have more than one space group setting. for ex the diamond cubic system has two settings with the origin either at (0,0,0) or at (1/4,1/4,1/4) etc. this handle takes care of these cases. but the defaiult is always 0
default space group setting

- calc_lp_at_PT(pressure=None, temperature=None)[source]
calculate the lattice parameters for a given pressure and temperature using the BM EoS. This is the main function which will be called from the GUI.
- calc_lp_factor(pressure=None, temperature=None)[source]
calculate the factor to multiply the lattice constants by. only the lengths will be modified, the angles will be kept constant.
- calc_pressure(volume=None, temperature=None)[source]
calculate the pressure given the volume and temperature using the third order birch-murnaghan equation of state.
- calc_volume(pressure=None, temperature=None)[source]
solve for volume in the birch-murnaghan EoS to compute the volume. this number will be propagated to the Material object as updated lattice constants.
- property charge
- compute_powder_overlay(ttharray=array([0.000000e+00, 4.002001e-02, 8.004002e-02, ..., 7.991996e+01, 7.995998e+01, 8.000000e+01]), fwhm=0.25, scale=1.0)[source]
this function computes a simulated spectra for using in place of lines for the powder overlay. inputs are simplified as compared to the typical LeBail/Rietveld computation. only a fwhm (in degrees) and scale are passed
requested feature from Amy Jenei
