repeat

repeat(configuration, na=1, nb=1, nc=1, stack_systems=None)

Repeat the BulkConfiguration or BaseProbeConfiguration with the integer values na, nb, and nc along the three primitive unit cell vectors.

The repeated system is constructed with a cell of the type UnitCell.

Parameters:

• configuration (BulkConfiguration | BaseProbeConfiguration) – The configuration.

• na (int) – The repetition along the a-axis.
  Default: 1.

• nb (int) – The repetition along the b-axis.
  Default: 1.

• nc (int) – The repetition along the c-axis.
  Default: 1.

• stack_systems (bool) – If True the basis atoms are repeated as a unit, i.e. a0 and b0 are repeated as: a0,b0,a1,b1, … If False the basis atom are repeated individually, i.e. a0 and b0 are repeated as: a0,a1,…, b0,b1,…
  Default: See the docstring for the configuration’s repeat method.

Returns:

The repeated bulk system.

Return type:

BulkConfiguration | BaseProbeConfiguration
