DebyeCalculator v1.0.7

DebyeCalculator v1.0.7

We are excited to announce the release of DebyeCalculator v1.0.7!

This is the first stable release of DebyeCalculator, a powerful tool for calculating the scattering intensity $I(Q)$ through the Debye scattering equation, the Total Scattering Structure Function $S(Q)$, the Reduced Total Scattering Function $F(Q)$, and the Reduced Atomic Pair Distribution Function $G(r)$ from atomic structures.

This release includes:

• GPU Acceleration: Optimized code for the calculation of the Debye scattering equation on Graphics processing units (GPUs) which accelerate the calculations with orders of magnitudes.
• Support for Multiple Input Formats: Ability to calculate scattering patterns from atomic structures defined in XYZ files, CIF files, or directly as tuples in Python.
• Flexible Parameter Configuration: Easy-to-use interface for updating calculation parameters, including the range and step size for Q values, and the type of radiation used for scattering.
• Documentation: Detailed instructions for installation, usage, and troubleshooting, as well as additional implementation details. Documentations of the latest release can be found here.
• Installation via Pip: DebyeCalculator can be conveniently installed using pip.
• Benchmarking: Test out the package on your local machine or cluster and see the performance you can gain by using DebyeCalculator.

Please refer to the README for more detailed information on how to install and use DebyeCalculator.
