Pymatgen symmetry tools determine space groups, symmetry operations, standardized cells, and k-paths for band structure calculations.
Ensure pymatgen is installed in your Python environment:
pip install pymatgen
# or
conda install -c conda-forge pymatgen
Example usage pattern:
from pymatgen.symmetry.analyzer import SpacegroupAnalyzer
# your code here
SpacegroupAnalyzer for symmetry and conventional cellsSpacegroupAnalyzer or k-path tools.Executable examples in the scripts/ directory:
