32 // ClassName: G4Element
33 //
34 // Description: Contains element properties
35 //
36 // Class description:
37 //
38 // An element is a chemical element either directly defined in terms of
39 // its characteristics: its name, symbol,
40 // Z (effective atomic number)
41 // N (effective number of nucleons)
42 // A (effective mass of a mole)
43 // or in terms of a collection of constituent isotopes with specified
44 // relative abundance (i.e. fraction of nb of atoms per volume).
45 //
46 // Quantities, with physical meaning or not, which are constant in a given
47 // element are computed and stored here as Derived data members.
48 //
49 // The class contains as a private static member the table of defined
50 // elements (an ordered vector of elements).
51 //
52 // Elements can be assembled singly or in mixtures into materials used
53 // in volume definitions via the G4Material class.
54 //
55 // It is strongly recommended do not delete G4Element instance in the
56 // user code. All G4Elements will be automatically deleted at the end
57 // of Geant4 session
