Crate nucleide_material

Expand description

Materials: compositions, mixing, and serialization for nuclear engineering.

A Material is a map from NuclideId to a stored mass in grams, plus an optional mass density (g/cm3 by convention) and free-form JSON metadata. Density lives outside the composition: it is a property of the stream rather than part of the composition itself.

Atomic-mass-dependent conversions (Material::from_atom_frac and Material::atom_fractions) take a MassProvider so the material crate stays independent of the nuclear-data tables; wire up nucleide_nuclei::data once it lands.

use nucleide_material::{MassProvider, Material, NoMasses};
use nucleide_nuclei::NuclideId;

let mut mat = Material::new();
mat.add_nuclide(NuclideId::from_name("U235").unwrap(), 19.0);
mat.add_nuclide(NuclideId::from_name("U238").unwrap(), 1.0);
assert_eq!(mat.mass(), 20.0);

// Atom conversions need atomic masses:
let atoms = mat.atom_fractions(&NoMasses);
assert!(atoms.is_err());

Structs§

Ame2020: MassProvider backed by the AME2020 tables in nucleide_nuclei::data.
Analytics: Provider bundle for radioanalytic quantities.
AuditIssue: One conservation problem found by audit.
ChainDecays: DecayProvider backed by the ENDF/B-VIII.0 half-life table in nucleide_nuclei::data.
Collision: One truncated label form claimed by more than one nuclide.
CompendiumElement: One elemental constituent.
CompendiumEntry: One compendium material entry.
CompendiumIsotope: One isotope row of an element inside a compendium material.
DecayEnergies: DecayEnergyProvider backed by the ENDF/B-VII.1 prompt-decay-energy table in nucleide_nuclei::data (mean-field evaluation values, generated by scripts/gen-nuclear-data.py — see the table docs before quoting heat numbers).
Material: A nuclear material: nuclide masses plus optional density and metadata.
MaterialsDoc: A <materials> document bundling named Materials, optionally pointing at a cross-sections file via the root cross_sections attribute — the container shape of a materials collection document.
MaterialsLibrary: The full parsed compendium with fast lookups.
NaturalAbundances: AbundanceProvider backed by the natural-abundance table in nucleide_nuclei::data.
NoAbundances: An AbundanceProvider that knows no isotopes.
NoDecay: A DecayProvider that knows no decays.
NoDecayEnergies: A DecayEnergyProvider that knows no decay energies.
NoMasses: A MassProvider that knows no masses.

Enums§

AnalyticsError: Errors from radioanalytics beyond the shared [crate::Error] set.
AuditKind: The class of a conservation problem found by audit.
CompendiumError: Errors from compendium loading.
Error: Errors produced by material construction, conversion, and export.
FormulaError: Errors from formula parsing and element expansion.

Constants§

AVOGADRO: Avogadro constant, atoms per mole (exact, 2019 SI).

Functions§

audit: Validate mass-fraction normalization, mass signs, key uniqueness, and atomic-mass availability.

parse_formula: Parse a chemical formula into per-element atom counts.

Type Aliases§

FormulaResult: Result alias for formula parsing and expansion.
Result: Result alias for the material crate.
