2DMAT -- Data-analysis software of quantum beam diffraction experiments for 2D material structure

2DMAT is a framework for applying a search algorithm to a direct problem solver to find the optimal solution. As the standard direct problem solver, the experimental data analysis software for two-dimensional material structure analysis is prepared. The direct problem solver gives the deviation between the experimental data and the calculated data obtained under the given parameters such as atomic positions as a loss function used in the inverse problem. The optimal parameters are estimated by minimizing the loss function using a search algorithm. For further use, the original direct problem solver or the search algorithm can be defined by users. 2DMAT offers wrappers of direct problem solvers for some of quantum beam diffraction experiments such as the total-reflection high-energy positron diffraction (TRHEPD) experiment. As algorithms, it offers some minimizers such as the Nelder-Mead method and some samplers such as the population annealing Monte Carlo method. In the future, we plan to add other direct problem solvers and search algorithms in 2DMAT.

py2dmat

py2dmat is a python framework library for solving inverse problems. It also offers a driver script to solve the problem with predefined optimization algorithms and direct problem solvers (py2dmat also means this script).

Prerequists

• Required
  • python >= 3.6.8
  • numpy >= 1.14
  • tomli >= 1.2.0
• Optional
  • scipy
    • for minsearch algorithm
  • mpi4py
    • for exchange algorithm
  • physbo >= 1.0
    • for bayes algorithm

Install

• From PyPI (Recommended)
  • python3 -m pip install -U py2dmat
    • If you install them locally, use --user option like python3 -m pip install -U --user
    • pipx may help you from the dependency hell :p
• From Source (For developers)
  1. update pip >= 19 by python3 -m pip install -U pip
  2. python3 -m pip install 2DMAT_ROOT_DIRECTORY to install py2dmat package and py2dmat command
  • 2DMAT_ROOT_DIRECTORY means the directory including this README.md file.

Simple Usage

• py2dmat input.toml (use the installed script)
• python3 src/py2dmat_main.py input.toml (use the raw script)
• For details of the input file, see the document.
