NanoSheet

NanoSheet(n, m, atom_1=<class 'NL.CommonConcepts.PeriodicTable.Carbon'>, atom_2=<class 'NL.CommonConcepts.PeriodicTable.Carbon'>, bond_length=PhysicalQuantity(1.42086, Ang), vacuum=PhysicalQuantity(5.0, Ang))

Generate a nano sheet.

Parameters:

  • n (positive int) – The first coefficient of the chiral vector.

  • m (non-negative int, m > n) – The second coefficient of the chiral vector.

  • atom_1 (PeriodicTableElement) – The first element of the lattice cell.
    Default: Carbon

  • atom_2 (PeriodicTableElement) – The second element of the lattice cell.
    Default: Carbon

  • bond_length (PhysicalQuantity of type length) – The sheet bond length between neighboring atoms.
    Default: 1.42086*Angstrom

  • vacuum (PhysicalQuantity of type length) – The amount of vacuum that will be added on top and below the sheet.
    Default: 5.0*Angstrom

Returns:

The created NanoSheet

Return type:

BulkConfiguration

Usage Examples

Define the geometry of a (3,0) Carbon-Nitride nanosheet and repeat it ten times along the z-axis:

sheet = NanoSheet(3,0,Carbon,Nitrogen)
sheet = sheet.repeat(1,1,10)

Notes

The NanoSheet function generates a BulkConfiguration with a nano-sheet geometry as specified by the input parameters.
