simetuc: Simulating Energy Transfer and Upconversion
Project description
Simulating Energy Transfer and Upconversion
Installation
Python 3.5 is required (it may work with earlier versions, though). Installing Anaconda is recommended (preferably 64 bits).
$ conda install -c pedvide simetuc
or
$ pip install simetuc
Features
Command line interface program.
Run with: simetuc config_file.txt [options]
See all options below and with: simetuc -h
The simulations are controlled by a configuration textfile that includes:
Information about the host lattice.
Energy states.
Absorption and excitation.
Decay (including branching ratios).
Energy transfer.
Other setings for the power and concentration dependence or optimization.
See the example configuration file in the simetuc folder.
Add experimental data as two column text data, separated by tabs or spaces.
Different options:
Lattice creation.
Simulate the dynamics (rise and decay).
Optimization of the energy transfer parameters.
Minimize the deviation between experiment and simulation.
Simulate the steady state.
Simulate the power dependence of each emission.
Simulate the concentration dependence of the dynamics or the steady state.
All results can be plotted and saved in .hdf5 format.
Documentation
See the powerpoint presentation.
TODO
[ ] Add pressure dependene option: Change the distances of the lattice and simulate dynamics or steady-state.
[ ] Read experimental data in more formats.
