Sorted distances vector representation of an atomic environment.

Each atomic center is represented by a vector of distance to its neighbors within the spherical cutoff, sorted from smallest to largest. If there are less neighbors than max_neighbors, the remaining entries are filled with cutoff instead.

Separate types for neighbors are represented separately, meaning that the max_neighbors parameter applies one atomic type at the time.

cutoff: number:

Spherical cutoff to use for atomic environments

max_neighbors: unsigned integer:

Maximal number of neighbors of a given atomic type a center is allowed to have. This is also the dimensionality of the features.

separate_neighbor_types: boolean:

Should separate neighbor types be represented separately?
