Bases: AtomeaContainer

Information that specifies the physical atomistic microstates.

atom_symbol = Data[adt.Str](store_kind=StoreKind.ARRAY, uuid='81c21a83-4b72-48c6-a576-4541b468eb90', description='Elemental symbols') class-attribute instance-attribute

Elemental symbol based on atom_z.

atom_z = Data[adt.UInt8](store_kind=StoreKind.ARRAY, uuid='d051abd9-c815-40b1-ab2d-e7a50a2d3259', description='Atomic numbers') class-attribute instance-attribute

The atomic number is a fundamental property of an atom and is denoted by the symbol \(Z\). It is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. In a neutral atom, the atomic number also corresponds to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.

charge_net = Data[adt.DataFrame](store_kind=StoreKind.TABLE, uuid='6ff82a49-4666-4cbb-978a-409bfa6a511', description='Net charge') class-attribute instance-attribute

The net charge of an atomic system is the overall charge determined by the balance between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.

coordinates = Data[adt.Float64](store_kind=StoreKind.ARRAY, uuid='81c7cec9-beec-4126-b6d8-91bee28951d6', description='Atomic coordinates') class-attribute instance-attribute

Coordinates refer to the specific three-dimensional positions of particles defined using a set of Cartesian coordinates (\(x\), \(y\), \(z\)).

multiplicity = Data[adt.DataFrame](store_kind=StoreKind.TABLE, uuid='8e3eb55a-ed81-46d3-9f34-0ea00fa8c8e4', description='Spin multiplicity') class-attribute instance-attribute

The degeneracy or the number of possible spin states associated with a particular electronic state of a molecule. The multiplicity is denoted by the symbol \(2S+1\), where \(S\) is the total electron spin angular momentum. Here, \(S\) can take non-negative half-integer values, such as 0, ½, 1, 3/2, and so on. The multiplicity is always an integer.
