Dear Nafise,

That is why I said it is a simple python problem.
You can for example from time to time copy the error message and put it in google it will lead you usually to quick answer.


in your case, ax1 is a 1D array so you need just one index  (like vectors in math). So ax1[2] will give you the result of the third component.

Adel

Dear Adel,

At first thank you for your reply and your help. In fact I tried A[i,j] in the past but it does not work in my code. Please look at the following:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from functools import partial

import kwant
from kwant.physics import dispersion

def make_lead_with_crossing_bands():
    lat = kwant.lattice.square(1)
    sym = kwant.TranslationalSymmetry((-2, 0))
    H = kwant.Builder(sym)
    H[lat(0, 0)] = 0
    H[lat(0, 1)] = 0
    H[lat(1, 0)] = 0
    H[lat(1, 0), lat(0, 0)] = 1
    H[lat(2, 1), lat(0, 1)] = 1
    H[lat(2, 0), lat(1, 0)] = 0.5
    return H

lead = make_lead_with_crossing_bands().finalized()
bands = dispersion.Bands(lead)

momenta = np.linspace(-np.pi,np.pi, 500)
energies = [bands(k) for k in momenta]
ax1=bands(-np.pi)
print ('ax1=',ax1)
print ('ax1=',ax1[0,1])

here ax1 is a matrix with dimension 1*3. I want to use element ax1(1,2), But according to the ax1[0,1], it gives me an error with massage "too many indices for array". That is very kind of you if you help me.

Best,
Nafise

Dear Nafise,

Your question is a python related question. You can find the answer in any python documentation or forum.
So please, make an effort and search around you or by a quick check on internet before posting a question in the kwant forum. 
In fact, posting non kwant related questions in this forum, makes it a general forum rather than a specialized one. 

So for your question if A is a matrix, the elements are A[i,j].   
Example A=array([[1,2],[3,4]])   gives A[0,0]=1.
I hope this helps,
Ade

Dear all,

Is there any one to know how we can use one element of matrix? For example we have matrix A as follows:

A=[2 4;6,0]

We have A matrix with dimension 2*2. If  we want to use one element of matrix such as A(2,1), (that is number 6 in the matrix), How we can write in kwant? Any help appreciate.

Best,
Nafise
