# vdW_structures

## Overview

`vdW_structures` is a Python package that facilitates the modification of van der Waals (vdW) layered materials built on `pymatgen`.

`vdW_structures` is a Python package built on `ase` and `pymatgen` that facilitates the construction of van der Waals (vdW) layered materials.

## Features

- Allows the user to extract and recombine individual layers of vdW materials

- Improves `pymatgen`'s CoherentInterfaceBuilder() handling of vdW heterostructure construction

- Supports common vdW structural transformations (e.g., x, y and z-direction shifts of individual layers)

- Allows the user to extract and recombine individual layers of vdW materials.

- Improves `pymatgen`'s CoherentInterfaceBuilder() handling of vdW heterostructure construction.

- Supports common vdW structural transformations (e.g., x, y and z-direction shifts of individual layers).
