magnopy.LSWT.delta

method

LSWT.delta(k, relative=False)

Constant energy term of the diagonalized Hamiltonian.

\[\sum_{\boldsymbol{k}}\Delta(\boldsymbol{k})\]

Parameters:

k(3,) array-like

Reciprocal vector

relativebool, default False

If relative=True, then k is interpreted as given relative to the reciprocal unit cell. Otherwise it is interpreted as given in absolute coordinates.

Returns:

deltafloat

Constant energy term that results from diagonalization. Note, that data type is complex. If the ground state is correct, then the complex part should be zero.

Examples

>>> import magnopy
>>> spinham = magnopy.examples.cubic_ferro_nn()
>>> lswt = magnopy.LSWT(spinham=spinham, spin_directions=[[0, 0, 1]])
>>> lswt.delta(k=[0,0,0.5], relative=True)
