# Band Unfolding Tutorial

Introduction The supercell (SC) method is the ubiquitous approach for the study of solid-state periodic boundary condition systems. In the simplest case, one just construct an SC by repeating the ...

# Matplotlib: Plot within a hexagon

Problem Suppose we have a periodic function $f(x,y)$ defined within a hexagonal unit cell, how can we plot the function on the Wigner-Seitz cell? Codes #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 ...

# Fourier Transform of Radial Functions

Description of the problem Suppose we have a function which can be expressed in terms of spherical harmonics [ \label{eq:radial_fun} f(r, \theta, \phi) = \sum_{l=1...

# Numerov Algorithm

Numerov’s method Numerov’s method1 (also called Cowell’s method) is a numerical method to solve ordinary differential equations of second order in which the first-order term does not appear. It is...

# Plotly: Spherical Harmonics

Introduction In mathematics and physical science, spherical harmonics are special functions defined on the surface of a sphere. The spherical harmonics form a complete set of orthogonal functions...

# Plotly: Tight-binding Model for Graphene

Honeycomb lattice of graphene The unit cell of graphene’s lattice consists of two different types of sites, which we will refer to as $A$ and $B$ sites (see Figure 1). ...

# Plotly: 1D Diatomic Chain Dispersion

1D Diatomic Chain Dispersion Consider a 1D chain with two atoms in the unit cell 1D diatomic chain. two sublattices. Generated by TikZ/LaTeX. ...

# Transforming Between Supercell and Primitive Cell

Primitive Cell to Supercell Suppose the transformation matrix between the primitive cell ($\mathbf{A}$) and the supercell ($\mathbf{a}$) is $M$, i.e. $\mathbf{A} = M\cdot \mathbf{a}$ For ...
