How to Use This Package:

1. To install the stable version of gbpy:

   $ pip install gbpy

2. Import the package

3. call the function by using

   For example to find the minimum energy structure of GB Σ(0 0 1)(0 0 -1) in Mg. The potential, lattice parameter and cohesive energy are taken from Sun, D. Y., et al. "Crystal-melt interfacial free energies in hcp metals: A molecular dynamics study of Mg." Physical Review B 73.2 (2006): 024116.

   >>> element = 'Mg' # Name of the element
   >>> CohEng = -1.5287  # Cohesive energy in ev
   >>> Tm = 923.1 # Melting point in K
   >>> lammps_exe_path = <LAMMPS-EXCUTABLE-DIRECTORY> #
   >>> gb_name = 'gb_attr_Mg_sun_S7_1_N1_0_0_1_N2_0_0_-1' # Name of the GB
   >>> gbpy.MC_MD(gb_name, element, CohEng, Tm, lammps_exe_path)
