Dear Anant, You are searching for the wraparound module built by Christoph and previously announce on this mailing list. Please see the original announcement over here: https://www.mail-archive.com/kwant-discuss@kwant-project.org/msg00745.html Once again I would like to remind you to try searching for questions on this mailing list before asking questions.

Hello everyone, I am writing this to ask about how can I finalize the sytem with translational invariance along two directions. Code that I am using is the following as I want to make a slab system for band structure.

sym = kwant.TranslationalSymmetry([1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0])

Error:

ValueError: Currently, only builders without or with a 1D translational symmetry can be finalized.

Is there any solution to this?

I also happen to get one code from notes on internet by edx course where thwe following code has been used using wraparound function.

I did not get much out of it. Also, I checked I don't have this function in my kwant module. how can I get this functions module? Please anyone can explian what this function is doing in the code:

def make_scatter_sys(): from functions import wraparound syst = wraparound(bhz(Z=1, system_type='slab')) syst.attach_lead(make_lead()) syst.attach_lead(wraparound(bhz(), keep=0)) syst = syst.finalized() syst.leads[0] = TRIInfiniteSystem(syst.leads[0], trs) return syst
