Feature request

I couldn't seem to find a definition of "Compounds" in TOPAS and TOPAS-nbio. If I want to use materials like the ones mentioned above, is there a relevant material database available?

Hi! TOPAS has access to the predefined materials of GEANT4. Here you can find a list of some of NIST compounds:

However, it seems that they don't have the chemical materials that you are looking for, so maybe it's better to define them using the method shown in the TOPAS docs:

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions. :)
Best regards,
