Thank you for your suggestion. Understanding the way you said, I made the
tutorial code for band_structure.py with 4 x 4 Hamiltonian (attached to
this mail). I have defined tau_x and tau_z as 4 x 4 Hamiltonian as done in
superconductivity.py tutorial. I do not know whether that is the right way
to make multiorbital code here or not. So, please tell me looking at the
attached code.
But the problem is how to specify which two orbitals belong to one site and
other two orbitals belong to another site (suppose there are two sites)?
Also if there is any way to give orbital symmetry specifically, like px, py
or dxy etc. Even If eigenstate of the Hamiltonian can be plotted in
real-space ?
Thanking you,

Dear Santu,
Simply use 4 x 4 matrices instead of 2 x 2 matrices and it shall work.
Best, Xavier

a écrit : First of all thank you very much for your reply. I have been trying to follow your suggestions. Somehow I can not get it. Sorry for this. However, according to the manual, the Hopping kind is defined only between sites, (not orbitals !) as mentioned on page no. 28.
" A hopping is defined using two sites. If several hoppings are added at once, these two sites should be encapsulated in a tuple. In particular, one must write: syst[((lat(0,j+1), lat(0, j)) for j in range(W-1)] = ... " To make a multi-orbital Hamiltonian one needs hopping from more than two orbital of one site to more than two orbital of another site. Please give me one small documentation of such situation. For example A site (px) to B site ( py) and B site (px) to A site (py).
The example you gave about spin_orbit.py, there is the definition of sigma_0,1,2 Pauli spin matrix only 2by2 matrices. If I want 4 orbital tight binding Hamiltonian what about then.
Please tell me about this.
Thanking you,

Santu,
Take a look at the graphene tutorial for honeycomb: https://kwant-project.org/doc/1/tutorial/graphene
In order to add orbital degrees of freedom you need to introduce a spinor notation as the superconducting example: https://kwant-project.org/doc/ 1/tutorial/superconductors

escreveu: Dear Kwang users,
I have recently started using Kwant for making model Hamiltonian. It is really very good python package. I have started learning some tutorials. I would like to know if making tight-binding Hamiltonian with multi atom and multi orbital basis possible using Kwant. I can not find such example in documentation. I would like to then try to make a honeycomb lattice with two atoms and each atom with two basis, e.g., px, py.
Please help me to know about this in more detail. Thanking you,
Santu B
