thunderboltz.ThunderBoltz.describe_dist
- ThunderBoltz.describe_dist(steps='last', sample_cap=500000)[source]
Generate percentile and count statistics of the electron velocity / energy distribution for various time steps.
- Parameters:
steps (str, list[int], or int) –
Options for which time steps to read:
"last": Only read the VDF of the last time step"first": Only read the VDF of the first time step"all": Read a separate VDF for each time step.list[int]: Read VDF for each time step included in list.int: read VDF at one specific time step.
sample_cap (int) – Limit the number of samples read from the dump file for very large files. Default is 500000. If bool(sample_cap) evaluates to
False, then no cap will be imposed.
- Returns:
A table with statistical descriptions of the velocity and energy distributions.
- Return type:
