GTTbReadBands

GTTbReadBands[file,kpoints]

reads a tight-binding band structure, calculated with SimPack. kpoints is the list of k-vectors generated for the external calculation.

Details and Options

  • The FORTRAN band structure program is usually helpful to calculate the band structure for a large amount of k-points for DOS calculations. It can be also used to calculate a band structure with modified or fitted parameter sets. For further use and comparisons such a band structure can be imported to GTPack.
  • The following option can be used:

Basic Examples  (1)

First load the package:

Load the fcc Hamiltonian from file and prepare it for the calculation of the Cu band structure.

Choose the path in Brillouin zone and calculate the band structure.

A corresponding band structure was calculated by means of SimPack.

Set the k-vectors and read the band structure.

The band structures calculated in Mathematica and using the exported Hamiltonian in SimPack lead to the same result.
