elphmod.models.tas2.coupling(q1=0, q2=0, q3=0, k1=0, k2=0, k3=0, **ignore)[source]

Calculate coupling according to Eq. (B4) of PRB 101, 155107 (2020).

elphmod.models.tas2.create(prefix=None, rydberg=False, divide_mass=True)[source]

Create tight-binding, mass-spring, and coupling data files for TMDCs.

Parameters:
prefixstr, optional

Common prefix or seedname of data files. If absent, no data is written.

rydbergbool, default False

Store tight-binding model in Ry rather than eV?

divide_massbool, default True

Divide force constants and electron-phonon coupling by atomic masses and their square root, respectively?

Returns:
object

Tight-binding model.

object

Mass-spring model.

object

Localized electron-phonon coupling.

elphmod.models.tas2.dynamical_matrix(q1=0.0, q2=0.0, q3=0.0)[source]

Calculate phonons as in Sec. 2.4.3.2 of doi:10.26092/elib/250.

The DFPT force constants come from Fig. 3 (f-j) of PRX 13, 041009 (2023). Load spring “TaS2-SR” on https://janberges.de/spring to visualize them.

elphmod.models.tas2.hamiltonian(k1=0.0, k2=0.0, k3=0.0)[source]

Calculate electrons according to Eq. (5) of PRB 101, 155107 (2020).
