The program's design methodology, workflow, and approach to order quantification are described and demonstrated using a simple toy model. Additionally, we apply PyLRO to a series of metastable AlPO4 structural intermediates from a prior high-pressure study, demonstrating how to compute and visualize structural order in all directions on a Miller sphere. We further highlight the program's capabilities through a high-throughput analysis of structural patterns in the pressure-induced amorphization of AlPO4, revealing atomistic insights within specific energy regions of massive amorphous structures. These results suggest that PyLRO can be a valuable tool for investigating crystal-amorphous transition in materials research.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.09586v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.09586v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"pylro-a-python-calculator-for-analyzing-long","repo_url":"https://github.com/matersim/pylro","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
