Python Materials Genomics is a robust materials analysis code that defines core object representations for structures and molecules with support for many electronic structure codes. It is currently the core analysis code powering the Materials Project (https://materialsproject.org).
Project description
Pymatgen (Python Materials Genomics) is a robust, open-source Python library for materials analysis. These are some of the main features:
- Highly flexible classes for the representation of
Element,Site,MoleculeandStructureobjects. - Extensive input/output support, including support for VASP, ABINIT, CIF, Gaussian, XYZ, and many other file formats.
- Powerful analysis tools, including generation of phase diagrams, Pourbaix diagrams, diffusion analyses, reactions, etc.
- Electronic structure analyses, such as density of states and band structure.
- Integration with the Materials Project REST API.
Pymatgen is free to use. However, we also welcome your help to improve this library by making your contributions. These contributions can be in the form of additional tools or modules you develop, or feature requests and bug reports. The following are resources for pymatgen:
- Official documentation
- Bug reports or feature requests: Please submit a GitHub issue.
- Code contributions via pull request are welcome.
- For questions that are not bugs or feature requests, please use the
pymatgenMatSci forum or open a GitHub discussion. matgenbprovides some example Jupyter notebooks that demonstrate how to usepymatgenfunctionality.- Follow us on Twitter to get news and tips.
Why use pymatgen?
- It is (fairly) robust. Pymatgen is used by thousands of researchers and is the analysis code powering the Materials Project. The analysis it produces survives rigorous scrutiny every single day. Bugs tend to be found and corrected quickly. Pymatgen also uses Github Actions for continuous integration, which ensures that every new code passes a comprehensive suite of unit tests.
- It is well documented. A fairly comprehensive documentation has been written to help you get to grips with it quickly.
- It is open. You are free to use and contribute to
pymatgen. It also means thatpymatgenis continuously being improved. We will attribute any code you contribute to any publication you specify. Contributing topymatgenmeans your research becomes more visible, which translates to greater impact. - It is fast. Many of the core numerical methods in
pymatgenhave been optimized by vectorizing innumpy/scipy. This means that coordinate manipulations are fast. Pymatgen also comes with a complete system for handling periodic boundary conditions. - It will be around. Pymatgen is not a pet research project. It is used in the well-established Materials Project. It is also actively being developed and maintained by the Materials Virtual Lab, the ABINIT group and many other research groups.
- A growing ecosystem of developers and add-ons. Pymatgen has contributions from materials scientists all over the world. We also now have an architecture to support add-ons that expand
pymatgen's functionality even further. Check out the contributing page and add-ons page for details and examples.
Installation
The version at the Python Package Index PyPI is always the latest stable release that is relatively bug-free and can be installed via pip:
pip install pymatgen
If you'd like to use the latest unreleased changes on the main branch, you can install directly from GitHub:
pip install -U git+https://github.com/materialsproject/pymatgen
The minimum Python version is 3.8. Some extra functionality (e.g., generation of POTCARs) does require additional setup (see the pymatgen docs).
Change Log
Please check GitHub releases and commit history for the latest changes. A legacy changelog is still up at https://pymatgen.org/change_log.
Using pymatgen
Please refer to the official pymatgen docs for tutorials and examples.
