Calibrants

Sometimes, it is unnecessary or inconvenient to define a full material model to represent a substance. One of these cases is when dealing with experimental calibrants, where we are only interested in finding the pressure and/or temperature conditions based on measured unit cell volumes. BurnMan includes a Calibrant class for this purpose. A Calibrant is defined by a volumetric equation of state (EOS) and accompanying parameters. It may or may not be temperature dependent.

See Calibrant databases for a list of built-in calibrants available in BurnMan.
