ProjectionList

class ProjectionList(atoms=None, elements=None, angular_momenta=None)

Class for representing a list of orbitals. Results of many analysis objects, e.g. MolecularEnergySpectrum, can be projected onto this limited set of orbitals.

Parameters:

• atoms (list of int | All) – List of integers specifying the atom indices to include in the projection list.
  Default: All

• elements (list of PeriodicTableElement | All) – List of elements to include in the projection list
  Default: All

• angular_momenta (list of int | All) – List of angular momenta, specified as integers (0=s, 1=p, …), to include in the projection list
  Default: All

angularMomenta()

Returns:

The angular momenta which are included in the projection list.

Return type:

list of int

atoms()

Returns:

The atom indices which are included in the projection list.

Return type:

list of int

elements()

Returns:

The elements which are included in the projection list.

Return type:

list of PeriodicTableElement

includeAll()

Returns:

True if we include all orbitals as targets.

Return type:

bool

orbitalIndex(configuration)

Generate a list with indices of the orbitals in the projection list

Parameters:

configuration (MoleculeConfiguration | BulkConfiguration | DeviceConfiguration | SurfaceConfiguration) – The configuration to extract orbital index from

Returns:

A list with orbital indices

Return type:

list of int

uniqueString()

Return a unique string representing the state of the object.

Usage Examples

Calculate the Nitrogen s level within an ammonia molecule:

# Set up configuration
molecule_configuration = MoleculeConfiguration(
    elements=[Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Hydrogen, Hydrogen],
    cartesian_coordinates= [[ 0.      ,  0.      ,  0.124001],
                         [ 0.      ,  0.941173, -0.289336],
                         [ 0.81508 , -0.470587, -0.289336],
                         [-0.81508 , -0.470587, -0.289336]]*Angstrom )

# Define the calculator
calculator = HuckelCalculator()
molecule_configuration.setCalculator(calculator)

# Calculate and save the molecular energy spectrum
molecular_energy_spectrum = MolecularEnergySpectrum(
    configuration=molecule_configuration,
    energy_zero_parameter=AbsoluteEnergy,
    projection_list=ProjectionList(elements=[Nitrogen], angular_momenta = [0])
    )
nlsave('molecular.hdf5', molecular_energy_spectrum)

# Extract the energy
energy = molecular_energy_spectrum.evaluate()
occ = molecular_energy_spectrum.occupation()

# ... and print it out
print("level   energy(eV)    occupation")
for i in range(len(energy[0])):
    print('  %d  %12.4f  %12.4f  ' % (i, energy[0][i].inUnitsOf(eV),occ[0][i]))
