treams._core.PlaneWaveBasisByUnitVector

class treams._core.PlaneWaveBasisByUnitVector(modes)

Plane wave basis.

A plane wave basis is defined by a collection of wave vectors specified by the Cartesian wave vector components qx, qy, and qz normalized to \(q_x^2 + q_y^2 + q_z^2 = 1\) and the polarizations pol.

For plane waves there exist multiple Polarizations, such that these modes can refer to either treams.special.vpw_A() or treams.special.vpw_M() and treams.special.vpw_N().

Parameters:

modes (array-like) – A tuple containing a list for each of qx, qy, qz, and pol.

qx

X-component of the normalized wave vector.

Type:

array-like

qy

Y-component of the normalized wave vector.

Type:

array-like

qz

Z-component of the normalized wave vector.

Type:

array-like

pol

Polarization, see also Polarizations.

Type:

array-like
