[Materials]

 The material database contains about 500 predefined compounds with
 about 300 of them together with the Sternheimer parameters, damage
 thresholds and optical properties.
 You can use this database as a REFERENCE only.
 Please VERIFY always the correctness of the information

  Composition        Select between "atom", "mass", "volume"
                     Automatic rescaling occurs when changing the
                     type

  State              Solid, Gas, or Liquid

  Density            Material density in g/cm3

 Table
 ~~~~~
  Z                  Atomic charge of each isotope in the compound
  A                  Atomic mass of each isotope in the compound
  El                 Isotope symbol
  Name               Name of isotope
  Frac               Atom, mass or volume fraction of the isotope

 All entries in the table are editable and either Z, El, or Name
 can be used to define the isotope

 Group              List of groups that the isotope belongs to
