casm-bset

The casm-bset package is the CASM cluster expansion basis set construction module. This includes:

• Methods for generating coupled cluster expansion Hamiltonians of occupation, strain, displacement, and magnetic spin degrees of freedom (DoF) appropriate for the symmetry of any multi-component crystalline solid.

• Methods for generating C++ code for a CASM cluster expansion calculator (clexulator) which efficiently evaluates the cluster expansion basis function for configuration represented using the CASM ConfigDoFValues data structure

• Generalized methods for creating symmetry adapted basis functions of other variables

This package is designed to work with the cluster expansion calculator (clexulator) evaluation methods which are implemented in libcasm-clexulator.

About CASM

The casm-bset package is part of the CASM open source software package, which is designed to perform first-principles statistical mechanical studies of multi-component crystalline solids.

CASM is developed by the Van der Ven group, originally at the University of Michigan and currently at the University of California Santa Barbara.
