Physics Submodule

atompy provides a number of methods tailered to physics simulations / calculations.

These are further separated into submodules.

General

Symbols included in the atompy.physics namespace can be accessed, for example, as such:

import atompy as ap
import atompy.physics as physics
from atompy.physics import Molecule

electron = ap.physics.Electron(...)
atom1 = physics.Atom(...)
atom2 = physics.Atom(...)
molecule = Molecule([atom1, atom2])

See the reference page for a documentation of everything included in the base module.

Compton Scattering

atompy.physics.compton_scattering groups methods related to Compton scattering.

These can be accessed like, for example:

import atompy as ap
import atompy.physics.compton_scattering as compton

tp_cross_section = ap.physics.compton_scattering.thomson_cross_section(...)
kn_cross_section = compton.klein_nishina_cross_section(...)

See the reference page for a documentation of everything included in this submodule.

COLTRIMS

atompy.physics.coltrims groups methods related to Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy (COLTRIMS).

These can be accessed like, for example:

import atompy as ap
import atompy.physics.coltrims as coltrims

fit = coltrims.ion_tof_linear_fit(...)
exploded = ap.physics.coltrims.coulomb_explode(...)

See the reference page for a documentation of everything included in this submodule.
