Methods

Sk([format])	Retrieve the overlap matrix corresponding to the originating parent structure.
norm2([projection])	Return a vector with the norm of each state \(\langle\psi|\mathbf S|\psi\rangle\)
spin_moment([project])	Calculate spin moment from the states
wavefunction(grid[, spinor, eta])	Expand the coefficients as the wavefunction on grid as-is

Sk(format=None)

Retrieve the overlap matrix corresponding to the originating parent structure.

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

Parameters:

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

norm2(projection: Literal['sum', 'orbitals', 'basis', 'atoms'] = 'sum')

Return a vector with the norm of each state \(\langle\psi|\mathbf S|\psi\rangle\)

\(\mathbf S\) is the overlap matrix (or basis), for orthogonal basis \(\mathbf S \equiv \mathbf I\).

Parameters:

projection – whether to compute the norm per state as a single number or as orbital-/atom-resolved quantity

inner

used method for calculating the squared norm.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray – the squared norm for each state

spin_moment(project=False)

Calculate spin moment from the states

This routine calls spin_moment with appropriate arguments and returns the spin moment for the states.

See spin_moment for details.

Parameters:

project (bool, optional) – whether the moments are orbitally resolved or not

wavefunction(grid, spinor=0, eta=None)

Expand the coefficients as the wavefunction on grid as-is

See wavefunction for argument details, the arguments not present in this method are automatically passed from this object.
