Band structure with a periodicity larger than the lattice constant
by Michael Beconcini Oct. 6, 2017

Oct. 6, 2017

Dear all, I would like to compute the band structure of a honeycomb lattice with a periodic field of periodicity d, with *d>a *(*a* the lattice constant). What I have thought is to impose a translation symmetry to the leads with a period *d* instead of *a*, as written below. Can kwant do this and is this the correct way to do it? sym0 = kwant.TranslationalSymmetry((-d, 0.)) sym1 = kwant.TranslationalSymmetry((d, 0.)) sym0.add_site_family(A, other_vectors=[(-d, 2*d)]) sym0.add_site_family(B, other_vectors=[(-d, 2*d)]) sym1.add_site_family(A, other_vectors=[(-d, 2*d)]) sym1.add_site_family(B, other_vectors=[(-d, 2*d)]) Thank you very much for your attention and for this amazing package! Best, Michael Beconcini

definition of tag

Dear Kwant developer, I want to know more about Hoppingkind and tag. Is the tag of a site the order pair (i,j ) in lat(i,j) which is the site considered? This is for two dimension, for three dimension it should be (i,j,k) of lat (I,j,k).
