Kpath input documentation
Initialize k-path with spacing dk connecting points.
Used to initialize class qimpy.electrons.Kpath
.
YAML template:
dk: [float] # Maximum distance between adjacent points on k-path. points: [list] # List of special k-points [kx, ky, kz, label] along path.
Parameters:
dk
Type: float
Maximum distance between adjacent points on k-path. (Units: \(a_0^{-1}\).)
points
Type: list
List of special k-points [kx, ky, kz, label] along path. Each point should contain three fractional coordinates (float) and optionally a string label for this point for use in band structure plots.
