pyzentropy: A Python package implementing recursive entropy for first-principles thermodynamics
Nigel Lee En Hew, Luke Allen Myers, Shun-Li Shang +1
While the recursive property of entropy is well known in information theory, it is rarely utilized in thermodynamics, despite entropy originating in this field. Moreover, computati…

Density Functional Theory ToolKit (DFTTK) to Automate First-Principles Thermodynamics via the Quasiharmonic Approximation
Nigel Lee En Hew, Luke Allen Myers, Axel van de Walle +2
The Helmholtz energy is a key thermodynamic quantity representing available energy to do work at a constant temperature and volume. Despite a well-established methodology from firs…
