(sys, args=(), momenta=65, file=None, show=True, dpi=None, fig_size=None, ax=None, *, params=None)[source]¶Plot band structure of a translationally invariant 1D system.
A system bands of which are to be plotted.
Positional arguments to pass to the hamiltonian
method.
Deprecated in favor of ‘params’ (and mutually exclusive with it).
Either a number of sampling points on the interval [-pi, pi], or an array of points at which the band structure has to be evaluated.
The output file. If None, output will be shown instead. If plotly is selected as the engine, the filename has to end with a html extension.
For matplotlib engine, whether matplotlib.pyplot.show()
is to be
called, and the output is to be shown immediately.
For the plotly engine, a call to iplot(fig)
is made if
show is True.
Defaults to True for both engines.
Number of pixels per inch. If not set the matplotlib
default is
used.
Only for matplotlib engine. If the plotly engine is selected and
this argument is not None, then a RuntimeError will be triggered.
Figure size (width, height) in inches. If not set, the default
matplotlib
value is used.
Only for matplotlib engine. If the plotly engine is selected and
this argument is not None, then a RuntimeError will be triggered.
matplotlib.axes.Axes
instance or NoneIf ax is not None, no new figure is created, but the plot is done within the existing Axes ax. in this case, file, show, dpi and fig_size are ignored. Only for matplotlib engine. If the plotly engine is selected and this argument is not None, then a RuntimeError will be triggered.
Dictionary of parameter names and their values. Mutually exclusive with ‘args’.
A figure with the output if ax is not set, else None.
Notes
See Bands
for the calculation of dispersion without plotting.
