Citing

The pyiron integrated development environment (IDE) for computational materials science - pyiron IDE - is based on a flexible plugin infrastructure. So depending on which modules are used please cite the corresponding papers.

For all the other modules/ plugins in particular those hosted at https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/pyiron (MPIE internal) please ask the developers for the corrsponding references. We try to publish those under the open source license when the initial papers are published. Afterwards they are going to be added to the official Github repository.

external paper

Some of the features in pyiron rely on external codes which should be cited separatly. In alphabetical order:

ASE

pyiron is compatible with the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) structure classes, allowing the user to generate structures using the ASE framework and run the simulation within pyiron.
