StabilityMap¶
Optional dependency
StabilityMap requires calphad. CoherentStabilityMap additionally requires sqsgen. Plotting/visualization support additionally requires plots.
Maps thermodynamic stability and phase-separation (spinodal) regions across a composition space, using a CALPHAD database as the source of the Gibbs energy.
from materialsframework.tools import StabilityMap
sm = StabilityMap("Al-Ni-Cr-Fe.tdb", elements=["AL", "NI", "CR", "FE"], phase="FCC_A1", temperature=1200)
sm.fit()
print(sm.compositions[["AL", "NI", "CR", "FE", "negative_eigenvalues"]].head())
sm.plot() # plotting currently supports exactly four elements
