Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Species() [1/2]

Species	(	const string &	name,
		const Composition &	comp,
		double	charge = `0.0`,
		double	size = `1.0`
	)

Constructor.

◆ Species() [2/2]

Species ( const Species & )

delete

Species objects are not copyable or assignable.

		bool	withInput = `true`
	)		const

Definition at line 66 of file Species.cpp.

◆ molecularWeight()

double molecularWeight ( )

The molecular weight [amu] of the species.

Calculates and sets the molecular weight from the elemental composition of the species and element definitions in Elements.cpp, if the molecular weight is Undef.

Since: New in version 3.0

Definition at line 29 of file Species.cpp.

◆ setMolecularWeight()

void setMolecularWeight ( double weight )

Set the molecular weight of the species.

Since phases can have custom element weights, the phase will always call this method when a species is added to that phase. The species may also call this method the first time the molecularWeight() method is called if the species has not been added to a phase.

Parameters

weight The weight of this species to assign

Since: New in version 3.0

Member Data Documentation

◆ name

string name

The name of the species.

Definition at line 41 of file Species.h.

◆ composition

Composition composition

The elemental composition of the species.

Keys are element names; values are the corresponding atomicities.

Definition at line 45 of file Species.h.

◆ charge

double charge = 0.0

The electrical charge on the species, in units of the elementary charge.

Definition at line 48 of file Species.h.

◆ size

double size = 1.0

The effective size of the species.

Currently used only for surface species, where it represents the number of sites occupied.

Definition at line 52 of file Species.h.

◆ transport

shared_ptr<TransportData> transport

Definition at line 77 of file Species.h.

◆ thermo

shared_ptr<SpeciesThermoInterpType> thermo

Thermodynamic data for the species.

Definition at line 80 of file Species.h.

◆ input

AnyMap input

Input parameters used to define a species, for example from a YAML input file.

Definition at line 83 of file Species.h.

◆ m_molecularWeight

double m_molecularWeight = Undef

protected

The molecular weight of the species, in atomic mass units.

Includes electron mass for charged species.
