Detailed Description

Common interface for band structures.

Static polymorphism is not used here because this option should be modified from the outside via config files.

Member Function Documentation

clone()

virtual dispersion_base * viennashe::physics::dispersion_base::clone ( ) const

pure virtual

Clones the dispersion relation. User must ensure that the returned copy is deleted.

Implemented in viennashe::physics::parabolic_dispersion< MaterialType >, viennashe::physics::modena_dispersion< MaterialType >, and viennashe::physics::ext_vecchi_dispersion< MaterialType >.

density_of_states()

virtual double viennashe::physics::dispersion_base::density_of_states ( double  ekin, double  theta = 0, double  phi = 0  ) const

pure virtual

Returns the density of states as a function of kinetic energy (and angles, eventually)

Implemented in viennashe::physics::parabolic_dispersion< MaterialType >, viennashe::physics::modena_dispersion< MaterialType >, and viennashe::physics::ext_vecchi_dispersion< MaterialType >.

is_isotropic()

virtual bool viennashe::physics::dispersion_base::is_isotropic ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns true if the dispersion relation is isotropic.

Definition at line 56 of file dispersion.hpp.

norm_k()

virtual double viennashe::physics::dispersion_base::norm_k ( double  ekin, double  theta = 0, double  phi = 0  ) const

pure virtual

Returns the norm of the k-vector as a function of energy (and angles, eventually). Not possible for all dispersion relations.

Implemented in viennashe::physics::parabolic_dispersion< MaterialType >, viennashe::physics::modena_dispersion< MaterialType >, and viennashe::physics::ext_vecchi_dispersion< MaterialType >.

symmetry_factor()

virtual double viennashe::physics::dispersion_base::symmetry_factor ( ) const

pure virtual

Implemented in viennashe::physics::parabolic_dispersion< MaterialType >, viennashe::physics::modena_dispersion< MaterialType >, and viennashe::physics::ext_vecchi_dispersion< MaterialType >.

velocity()

virtual double viennashe::physics::dispersion_base::velocity ( double  ekin, double  theta = 0, double  phi = 0  ) const

pure virtual

Returns the group velocity as a function of kinetic energy (and angles, eventually)

Implemented in viennashe::physics::parabolic_dispersion< MaterialType >, viennashe::physics::modena_dispersion< MaterialType >, and viennashe::physics::ext_vecchi_dispersion< MaterialType >.
