Hi devs,
I am learning kwant alone, but i have doubts. I am trying to construct a system with a diatomic chain as scattering region and the leads as a monoatomic chain. But i am doing something wrong. Someone else can help me? Bellow i will show the code:
#####################################################################################################################
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import backends
import kwant
# Defining the parameters
L = 5 # range of scattering region
C = 2 # primitive vector
# Definindo o parametro de Hopping
t = 5 # hopping parameter
lat = kwant.lattice.general([(C,0),(0,1)],[(0,0),(1,0)], norbs=1)
a, b = lat.sublattices
syst = kwant.Builder()
# Scattering region
for i in range(L):
syst[a(i, 0)] = 0
syst[b(i, 0)] = 0
syst[kwant.builder.HoppingKind((0, 0), a, b)] = -t
syst[kwant.builder.HoppingKind((1, 0), b, a)] = -t
kwant.plot(syst)
plt.show()
# leaft lead (lead 1)
lat_lead1 = kwant.lattice.chain(C, norbs=1)
sym_lead1 = kwant.TranslationalSymmetry((-C, 0))
lead1 = kwant.Builder(sym_lead1)
lead1[lat_lead(0,0)] = 4*t
lead1[lat_lead1.neighbors()] = -t
syst[(lat_lead1(-C, 0), a(0, 0))] = -t
syst.attach_lead(lead1)
kwant.plot(syst)
