class Element:
"""Class for defining an element in SRIM simulations.
Attributes
----------
symbol : str
The symbol of the element.
atomic_number : int
The atomic number of the element.
atomic_mass : float
The atomic mass of the element in atomic mass units.
e_d : float
The displacement energy of the element in eV.
e_l : float
The lattice binding energy of the element in eV.
e_s : float
The surface binding energy of the element in eV.
density : float, optional
The density of the element in g/cm^3. Only to be used by predefined
materials to simplify the definition of the layers in the target by the
user.
