__init__(filename, mode='r', *args, **kwargs)

property base_file

File of the current Sile

dir_file(filename=None, filename_base='')

File of the current Sile

property file

File of the current Sile

plot

Handles all plotting possibilities for a class

read(*args, **kwargs)

Generic read method which should be overloaded in child-classes

Parameters

kwargs – keyword arguments will try and search for the attribute read_<> and call it with the remaining **kwargs as arguments.

read_fermi_level()

Query the Fermi-level contained in the file

Returns

Ef

Return type

fermi-level of the system

read_geometry(geometry=None)

Returns Geometry object from a TranSiesta file

read_hamiltonian(geometry=None, **kwargs)

Electronic structure from the siesta.TSHS file

The TSHS file format does not contain exact orbital information. When reading the Hamiltonian directly using this class one will find wrong orbital information. In such cases it may be beneficial to pass the geometry argument to override the contained geometry.

The orbital order is unaltered but the atomic and orbital information will be somewhat arbitrary.

Parameters

geometry (Geometry, optional) – override the contained geometry in the returned Hamiltonian. Useful when reading files directly using this class.

Examples

Reading the Hamiltonian using the tshsSileSiesta backend through the fdf sile. Since the fdf file will try and read the basis sets using other files than the TSHS.

>>> H = sisl.get_sile("RUN.fdf").read_hamiltonian(order="TSHS")

An equivalent, but different way would be:

>>> geom = sisl.get_sile("RUN.fdf").read_geometry()
>>> H = sisl.get_sile("siesta.TSHS").read_hamiltonian(geometry=geom)

read_overlap(**kwargs)

Returns the overlap matrix from the TranSiesta file

read_supercell()

Returns a SuperCell object from a TranSiesta file

to_json()

property version: int

The version of the file

write(*args, **kwargs)

Generic write method which should be overloaded in child-classes

Parameters

**kwargs – keyword arguments will try and search for the attribute write_ and call it with the remaining **kwargs as arguments.

write_hamiltonian(H, **kwargs)

Writes the Hamiltonian to a siesta.TSHS file
