Sk(format='csr', spin=None)

Retrieve the overlap matrix corresponding to the originating parent structure.

When self.parent is a Hamiltonian this will return \(\mathbf S(k)\) for the \(k\)-point these eigenstates originate from

Parameters
  • format (str, optional) – the returned format of the overlap matrix. This only takes effect for non-orthogonal parents.

  • spin (Spin, optional) – for non-colinear spin configurations the fake overlap matrix returned will have halve the size of the input matrix. If you want the full overlap matrix, simply do not specify the spin argument.

align_norm(other, ret_index=False)

Align other.state with the site-norms for this state, a copy of other is returned with re-ordered states

To determine the new ordering of other we first calculate the residual norm of the site-norms.

\[\delta N_{\alpha\beta} = \sum_i \big(\langle \psi^\alpha_i | \psi^\alpha_i\rangle - \langle \psi^\beta_i | \psi^\beta_i\rangle\big)^2\]

where \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) correspond to state indices in self and other, respectively. The new states (from other) returned is then ordered such that the index \(\alpha \equiv \beta'\) where \(\delta N_{\alpha\beta}\) is smallest.

Parameters
  • other (State) – the other state to align onto this state

  • ret_index (bool, optional) – also return indices for the swapped indices

Returns

  • other_swap (State) – A swapped instance of other

  • index (array of int) – the indices that swaps other to be other_swap, i.e. other_swap = other.sub(index)

Notes

The input state and output state have the same states, but their ordering is not necessarily the same.

See also

align_phase

align_phase(other, copy=False)

Align other.state with the phases for this state, a copy of other is returned with rotated elements

States will be rotated by \(\pi\) provided the phase difference between the states are above \(|\Delta\theta| > \pi/2\).

Parameters
  • other (State) – the other state to align onto this state

  • copy (bool, optional) – sometimes no states require rotation, if this is the case this flag determines whether other will be copied or not

See also

align_norm

Parameters

  • diagonal (bool, optional) – only return the diagonal matrix \(\mathbf M_{ii}\).

  • align (bool, optional) – first align right with the angles for this state (see align)

inv_eff_mass_tensor(as_matrix=False, eps=0.001)

Calculate inverse effective mass tensor for the states

This routine calls inv_eff_mass with appropriate arguments and returns the state inverse effective mass tensor. I.e. for non-orthogonal basis the overlap matrix and energy values are also passed.

Note that the coefficients associated with the StateCElectron must correspond to the energies of the states.

See inv_eff_mass_tensor for details.

Notes

The reason for not inverting the mass-tensor is that for systems with limited periodicities some of the diagonal elements of the inverse mass tensor matrix will be 0, in which case the matrix is singular and non-invertible. Therefore it is the users responsibility to remove any of the non-periodic elements from the matrix.

Parameters
  • as_matrix (bool, optional) – if true the returned tensor will be a symmetric matrix, otherwise the Voigt tensor is returned.

  • eps (float, optional) – precision used to find degenerate states.
