tmmc-lnpy

Overview

A package to analyze $\ln \Pi(N)$ data from Transition Matrix Monte Carlo simulation. The main output from TMMC simulations, $\ln \Pi(N)$, provides a means to calculate a host of thermodynamic properties. Moreover, if $\ln \Pi(N)$ is calculated at a specific chemical potential, it can be reweighted to provide thermodynamic information at a different chemical potential

Features

tmmc-lnpy provides a wide array of routines to analyze $\ln \Pi(N)$. These include:

  • Reweighting to arbitrary chemical potential
  • Segmenting $\ln \Pi(N)$ (to identify unique phases)
  • Containers for interacting with several values of $\ln \Pi(N)$ in a vectorized way.
  • Calculating thermodynamic properties from these containers
  • Calculating limits of stability, and phase equilibrium

Status

This package is actively used by the author. Please feel free to create a pull request for wanted features and suggestions!

Quick start

Use one of the following

pip install tmmc-lnpy

or

conda install -c conda-forge tmmc-lnpy

Example usage

Note that the distribution name tmmc-lnpy is different than the import name lnpy due to name clashing on pypi.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import lnpy
>>> import lnpy.examples

>>> ref = lnpy.examples.load_example_lnpimasked("lj_sub")

>>> phase_creator = lnpy.PhaseCreator(nmax=1, ref=ref)
>>> build_phases = phase_creator.build_phases_mu([None])
>>> collection = lnpy.lnPiCollection.from_builder(
...     lnzs=np.linspace(-10, 3, 5), build_phases=build_phases
... )
