radtools.MagnonDispersion#

class radtools.MagnonDispersion(model: ExchangeHamiltonian, Q=None, n=None)[source]#

Magnon dispersion wrapper.

Parameters:
modelExchangeHamiltonian

Exchange Hamiltonian.

Q(3,) array-like

Ordering wave vector of the spin-spiral. In relative coordinates with respect to the model`s reciprocal cell. It rotates spins from unit cell to unit cell, but not from atom to atom in (0, 0, 0) unit cell.

n(3,) array-like, optional

Global rotational axis. If None provided, then it is set to the direction of Q.

Attributes:
Q(3,) numpy.ndarray

Ordering wave vector of the spin-spiral. in absolute coordinates in reciprocal space.

n(3,) numpy.ndarray

Global rotational axis.

Nint

Number of magnetic atoms.

J(M,) numpy.ndarray

Exchange parameters.

i(M,) numpy.ndarray

Indices of the first atom in the exchange pair.

j(M,) numpy.ndarray

Indices of the second atom in the exchange pair.

d(M, 3) numpy.ndarray

Vectors from the first atom to the second atom in the exchange pair.

S(N, 3) numpy.ndarray

Spin vectors.

u(N, 3) numpy.ndarray

Defined from local spin directions.

v(N, 3) numpy.ndarray

Defined from local spin directions.

Methods:

omega(k[, return_none])

Computes magnon energies.
