Introduction

oedes (Open Electronic DEvice Simulator) is a Python software package for modeling of electronic devices. It is primarily focused on emerging electronic devices. It is applicable to organic electronic, electrochemical, bioelectronic, and Peroskvite based devices.

oedes was written to take into account both the special aspects of non-conventional electronic devices, and modern trends in software development. The result a small but powerful package, which is tightly integrated with standard scientific software stack. This simplifies both running and sharing the simulations.

oedes mission is to:

• enable open science research in emerging electronic devices, by enabling full disclosure of numerical simulations;
• allow reuse of established device models, which were usually published without a runnanble implementation;
• accelerate research by providing a platform for parameter extraction from measurements and for device optimization driven by simulation;
• simplify development of new simulation models and tools, by providing a library of robust components;
• provide a standard way of running and sharing device simulations.

oedes is released as open-source under GNU Affero General Public License v3. It is free to use and distributed with complete source code.

Conventions

Code which is intended to execute in system command-line starts with $, for example:

$ python

All code which is indendent to be run in Python starts with >>> or ..., for example:

>>> print('hello world')

Sequences of characters which can be copied into code in current context are emphasized as print or 1+2+3. oedes formatted in that way refers to name of Python software package, or to Python symbol in current example.

General concepts are emphasized as params. oedes written in that way refers to the software project.
