Brillouin zone viewer

K-path convention after Setyawan & Curtarolo arXiv:1004.2974. Chenxi Wang made important contributions to the coding. For monoclinic and triclinic cases, try equivalent lattice definitions if you don't get satisfactory results.

Raman data reduction

Remove cosmic-ray spikes across repeated spectra and average them into a single cleaned trace.

Input

Expected: one-line header, then 2N numeric columns (X1 Y1 X2 Y2 ...), with N > 1.
Remove points above (1 + percent/100) * min (default 30%).

QMSS Figure Workshop

QMSS Figure Workshop is a Windows desktop tool for figure-centered research workflows: digitize XY traces and XYZ contour data from figures, assemble publication-ready multi-panel layouts, convert MATLAB-made figures into editable Python-style outputs, and browse plotting examples for clearer data presentation.

The installer is provided for group use as-is. Please download and install it only if you trust this source, and use it at your own risk.
