castep-periodic-table

A periodic table for use in CASTEP, written in rust.

Properties

Example Element: ``` Element { symbol: "C", atomicnumber: 6u8, lcao: 2u8, mass: 12.0109996796, potential: "C00PBE.usp", spin: 0_u8, }

```

Usage

extern crate castep_periodic_table as cpt; use cpt::element::Element; use cpt::data::ELEMENT_TABLE; // Lookup element "Co" by symbol let cobalt: &Element = ELEMENT_TABLE.get_by_symbol("Co").unwrap(); // Lookup element by atomic_number let oxygen = ELEMENT_TABLE.get_by_atomic_number(8_u8).unwrap(); // Get fields let lcao_cobalt: u8 = cobalt.lcao(); let mass_cobalt: f64 = cobalt.mass(); let spin: u8 = cobalt.spin(); let potential: &str = cobalt.potential(); // Iterator // ELEMENT_TABLE.iter()...

Maintainance

Currently the crate only include C, H, O, transition metals and Lanthanides due to personal interest. It can be updated by modifying the element_table.yaml and generate a new data.rs with the provided method in ElementYamlTable.
