# When adding custom materials - or getting the refractive index database - the
# information will be stored in the Solcore's users folder. These can be setup by setting
# the SOLCORE_USER_DATA environmental variable to your prefered location or, by default,
# it will be in your home directory, in a directory called .solcore.

#
#
# EXAMPLE 1
# need to have n and k data, and a parameter file in the correct format -
# see examples of parameter files in e.g. material_data/Adachi/binaries.txt
# create a new material, silicon-germanium-tin, from input files. Here,
# the parameters in SiGeSn_params.txt have been copied directly from Ge.
#
# In[ ]:
create_new_material('SiGeSn', '../data/SiGeSn_n.txt', '../data/SiGeSn_k.txt', '../data/SiGeSn_params.txt')
# can now create an instance of it like any Solcore material

# EXAMPLE 2
# Can also create a Solcore material from a material in the refractiveindex.info database:
# if necessary, download database:
#
# In[ ]:

# search what options are available for diamond, then use the first result's pageid to
# create data files for the n & k of diamond:
# In[ ]:
