*mrfmsim* is a Python framework for simulating magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM)
experiments. The package is based on the
`mmodel <https://marohn-group.github.io/mmodel-docs/>`_ framework, which provides
modular modeling capabilities for the experiments. 

This *mrfmsim* package contains tools to simulate signals in a Magnetic Resonance Force 
Microscope (MRFM) [#Sidles1995jan]_ [#Kuehn2008feb]_ [#Poggio2010aug]_ experiment.
The code in the package simulates signal from **electron spins**, 
particularly the **nitroxide spin radical** "TEMPO" to **selected nuclear 
spins (1H, 19F, and 71Ga)**.

The package host variety of MRFM experiments with the tip-on-cantilever setup.
It can simulate signals from both **Curie-law spin magnetization** and **spin 
fluctuations** (in the small polarization limit); and can simulate **force 
experiments** and **force-gradient experiments** (in the 
small-cantilever-amplitude limit and without the small amplitude approximation 
--- in the large amplitude limit). It can simulate signal with the cantilever 
and field-aligned in both the **hangdown** [#Mamin2003nov]_ and **SPAM** [#Marohn1998dec]_
[#Garner2004jun]_ experimental geometries.


Quickstart
----------

Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*Graphviz* installation
***********************

To view the graph, Graphviz needs to be installed:
`Graphviz Installation <https://graphviz.org/download/>`_
For Windows installation, please choose "add Graphviz to the
system PATH for all users/current users" during the setup.

For macOS systems, sometimes `brew install` results
in an unexpected installation path, it is recommended to install
with conda::

    conda install -c conda-forge pygraphviz


*mrfmsim* installation
***********************

To install the package, run::

    pip install .


Tests
^^^^^

To run the tests locally::

    python -m pytest

To test in different environments::

    tox
