A wrapper around a Vector{T}, that allows custom printing and dispatch rules of custom T (e.g., AbstractIrrep & NewBandRep).

In Crystalline, it is assumed that all elements of the wrapped vector are associated with the same space or point group. Accordingly, if T implements dim or num, either must return the same value for each element of the Collection (and is equal to dim(::Collection) and num(::Collection)).

CompositeBandRep{D} <: AbstractSymmetryVector{D}

A type representing a linear rational-coefficient combination of NewBandRep{D}s.

Although the coefficients may be rational numbers in general, their superposition must correspond to integer-valued irrep multiplicities and band occupation numbers; in particular, if they do not, conversion to a SymmetryVector will error.

See also CompositeBandRep_from_indices for construction from a vector included indices into brs.

Fields

  • coefs::Vector{Rational{Int}}: a coefficient vector associated with each band representation in brs; the coefficient of the ith band representation brs[i] is coefs[i].

Compute approximate equality of two vector quantities v1 and v2 of type, T = Union{<:AbstractVec, <:AbstractPoint}.

If modw = true, equivalence is considered modulo lattice vectors. If v1 and v2 are in the conventional setting of a non-primitive lattice, the centering type cntr (see Bravais.centering) should be given to ensure that the relevant (primitive) lattice vectors are used in the comparison.

Optional arguments

  • cntr: if not provided, the comparison will not account for equivalence by primitive lattice vectors (equivalent to setting cntr=nothing), only equivalence by lattice vectors in the basis of v1 and v2. cntr may also be provided as a D×D AbstractMatrix to give the relevant transformation matrix directly.

source
Bravais.cartesianizeMethod
cartesianize(op::SymOperation{D}, Rs::DirectBasis{D}) --> SymOperation{D}

Converts opˡ from a lattice basis to a Cartesian basis, by computing the transformed operators opᶜ = 𝐑*opˡ*𝐑⁻¹ via the Cartesian basis matrix 𝐑 (whose columns are the DirectBasis vectors Rs[i]).

Note 1

The matrix 𝐑 maps vectors coefficients in a lattice basis 𝐯ˡ to coefficients in a Cartesian basis 𝐯ᶜ as 𝐯ˡ = 𝐑⁻¹𝐯ᶜ and vice versa as 𝐯ᶜ = 𝐑𝐯ˡ. Since a general transformation P transforms an "original" vectors with coefficients 𝐯 to new coefficients 𝐯′ via 𝐯′ = P⁻¹𝐯 and since we here here consider the lattice basis as the "original" basis we have P = 𝐑⁻¹. As such, the transformation of the operator op transforms as opᶜ = P⁻¹*opˡ*P, i.e. opᶜ = transform(opˡ,P) = transform(opˡ,𝐑⁻¹).

Note 2

The display (e.g. Seitz and xyzt notation) of SymOperations e.g. in the REPL implicitly assumes integer coefficients for its point-group matrix: as a consequence, displaying SymOperations in a Cartesian basis may produce undefined behavior. The matrix representation remains valid, however.

primitivize(flat::AbstractFourierLattice, cntr::Char) --> ::typeof(flat)

Given flat referred to a conventional basis with centering cntr, compute the derived (but physically equivalent) lattice flat′ referred to the associated primitive basis.

Specifically, if flat refers to a direct conventional basis Rs $≡ (\mathbf{a} \mathbf{b} \mathbf{c})$ [with coordinate vectors $\mathbf{r} ≡ (r_1, r_2, r_3)^{\mathrm{T}}$] then flat′ refers to a direct primitive basis Rs′ $≡ (\mathbf{a}' \mathbf{b}' \mathbf{c}') ≡ (\mathbf{a} \mathbf{b} \mathbf{c})\mathbf{P}$ [with coordinate vectors $\mathbf{r}' ≡ (r_1', r_2', r_3')^{\mathrm{T}} = \mathbf{P}^{-1}\mathbf{r}$], where $\mathbf{P}$ denotes the basis-change matrix obtained from primitivebasismatrix(...).

To compute the associated primitive basis vectors, see primitivize(::DirectBasis, ::Char) [specifically, Rs′ = primitivize(Rs, cntr)].

Converts opˡ from a lattice basis to a Cartesian basis, by computing the transformed operators opᶜ = 𝐑*opˡ*𝐑⁻¹ via the Cartesian basis matrix 𝐑 (whose columns are the DirectBasis vectors Rs[i]).

Note 1

The matrix 𝐑 maps vectors coefficients in a lattice basis 𝐯ˡ to coefficients in a Cartesian basis 𝐯ᶜ as 𝐯ˡ = 𝐑⁻¹𝐯ᶜ and vice versa as 𝐯ᶜ = 𝐑𝐯ˡ. Since a general transformation P transforms an "original" vectors with coefficients 𝐯 to new coefficients 𝐯′ via 𝐯′ = P⁻¹𝐯 and since we here here consider the lattice basis as the "original" basis we have P = 𝐑⁻¹. As such, the transformation of the operator op transforms as opᶜ = P⁻¹*opˡ*P, i.e. opᶜ = transform(opˡ,P) = transform(opˡ,𝐑⁻¹).

Transforms a conventional coordinate vector v to a standard primitive basis (specified by the centering type cntr), returning the primitive coordinate vector v′.

Note that a basis change matrix $\mathbf{P}$ (as returned e.g. by Bravais.primitivebasismatrix) transforms direct coordinate vectors (RVec) as $\mathbf{r}' = \mathbf{P}^{-1}\mathbf{r}$ but transforms reciprocal coordinates (KVec) as $\mathbf{k}' = \mathbf{P}^{\text{T}}\mathbf{k}$ [ITA6].

Return a symmetry operation op′ $≡ \{W'|w'\}$ in a primitive setting, transformed from an input symmetry operation op $= \{W|w\}$ in a conventional setting. The operations $\{W'|w'\}$ and $\{W|w\}$ are related by a transformation $\{P|p\}$ via (cf. Section 1.5.2.3 of [ITA6]):

\[\{W'|w'\} = \{P|p\}⁻¹\{W|w\}\{P|p\}.\]

where $P$ and $p$ are the basis change matrix and origin shifts, respectively. The relevant transformation $\{P|p\}$ is inferred from the centering type, as provided by cntr (see also Bravais.centering).

Bravais.primitivizeMethod
primitivize(v::AbstractVec, cntr::Char)  -->  v′::typeof(v)

Transforms a conventional coordinate vector v to a standard primitive basis (specified by the centering type cntr), returning the primitive coordinate vector v′.

Note that a basis change matrix $\mathbf{P}$ (as returned e.g. by Bravais.primitivebasismatrix) transforms direct coordinate vectors (RVec) as $\mathbf{r}' = \mathbf{P}^{-1}\mathbf{r}$ but transforms reciprocal coordinates (KVec) as $\mathbf{k}' = \mathbf{P}^{\text{T}}\mathbf{k}$ [ITA6]. Recall also the distinction between transforming a basis and the coordinates of a vector.

source
Bravais.primitivizeMethod
primitivize(op::SymOperation, cntr::Char, modw::Bool=true) --> typeof(op)

Return a symmetry operation op′ $≡ \{W'|w'\}$ in a primitive setting, transformed from an input symmetry operation op $= \{W|w\}$ in a conventional setting. The operations $\{W'|w'\}$ and $\{W|w\}$ are related by a transformation $\{P|p\}$ via (cf. Section 1.5.2.3 of [ITA6]):

\[\{W'|w'\} = \{P|p\}⁻¹\{W|w\}\{P|p\}.\]

where $P$ and $p$ are the basis change matrix and origin shifts, respectively. The relevant transformation $\{P|p\}$ is inferred from the centering type, as provided by cntr (see also Bravais.centering).

By default, translation parts of op′, i.e. $w'$ are reduced modulo 1 (modw = true); to disable this, set modw = false.

source
Bravais.transformMethod
transform(v::AbstractVec, P::AbstractMatrix)  -->  v′::typeof(v)

Return a transformed coordinate vector v′ from an original coordinate vector v using a basis change matrix P.

Note that a basis change matrix $\mathbf{P}$ transforms direct coordinate vectors (RVec) as $\mathbf{r}' = \mathbf{P}^{-1}\mathbf{r}$ but transforms reciprocal coordinates (KVec) as $\mathbf{k}' = \mathbf{P}^{\mathrm{T}}\mathbf{k}$ [ITA6]

Transforms a op $= \{\mathbf{W}|\mathbf{w}\}$ by a rotation matrix P and a translation vector p (can be nothing for zero-translations), producing a new symmetry operation op′ $= \{\mathbf{W}'|\mathbf{w}'\}$ (cf. Section 1.5.2.3 of [ITA6])

\[\{\mathbf{W}'|\mathbf{w}'\} = \{\mathbf{P}|\mathbf{p}\}^{-1}\{\mathbf{W}|\mathbf{w}\} \{\mathbf{P}|\mathbf{p}\}\]

with

\[\mathbf{W}' = \mathbf{P}^{-1}\mathbf{W}\mathbf{P} \text{ and } -\mathbf{w}' = \mathbf{P}^{-1}(\mathbf{w}+\mathbf{W}\mathbf{p}-\mathbf{p})\]

By default, the translation part of op′, i.e. $\mathbf{w}'$, is reduced to the range $[0,1)$, i.e. computed modulo 1. This can be disabled by setting modw = false (default, modw = true).

Compute the band representations of space group sgnum in dimension D, returning a BandRepSet.

Keyword arguments

  • timereversal (default, true): whether the irreps used to induce the band representations are assumed to be time-reversal invariant (i.e., are coreps, see realify).

Notes

All band representations associated with maximal Wyckoff positions are returned, irregardless of whether they are elementary (i.e., no regard is made to whether the band representation is "composite"). As such, the returned band representations generally are a superset of the set of elementary band representations (and so contain all elementary band representations).

Compute and return the reality of a lgir::LGIrrep using the Herring criterion.

The computed value is one of three integers in ${1,-1,0}$. In practice, this value is returned via a member of the Enum Reality, which has instances REAL = 1, PSEUDOREAL = -1, and COMPLEX = 0.

Optional arguments

As a sanity check, a value of αβγ can be provided to check for invariance along a symmetry symmetry line/plane/general point in k-space. The reality must be invariant to this choice.

Note

The provided space group operations sgops must be the set reduced by primitive translation vectors; i.e. using spacegroup(...) directly is not allowable in general (since the irreps we reference only include these "reduced" operations). This reduced set of operations can be obtained e.g. from the Γ point irreps of ISOTROPY's dataset, or alternatively, from reduce_ops(spacegroup(...), true).

Implementation

The Herring criterion evaluates the following sum

$[∑ χ({β|b}²)]/[g_0/M(k)]$

over symmetry operations ${β|b}$ that take $k → -k$. Here $g_0$ is the order of the point group of the space group and $M(k)$ is the order of star($k$) [both in a primitive basis].

Return the conjugacy classes of a group $G$ defined by symmetry operations ops.

Definitions

Two elements $a$ and $b$ in $G$ are considered conjugate if there exists a $g ∈ G$ such that $gag^{-1} = b$. This defines an equivalence relation $\sim$, i.e., we say that $a \sim b$ if $a$ and $b$ are conjugate. The conjugacy classes of $G$ are the distinct equivalence classes that can be identified under this equivalence relation, i.e. the grouping of $G$ into subsets that are equivalent under conjugacy.

Extended help

If ops describe operations in a crystal system that is not primitive (i.e., if its centering type is not p or P) but is presented in a conventional setting, the centering symbol cntr must be given. If ops is not in a centered crystal system, or if ops is already reduced to a primitive setting, cntr should be given as nothing (default behavior) or, alternatively, as P or p (depending on dimensionality).

A single-argument calls to classes with SpaceGroup or LittleGroup types will assume that ops is provided in a conventional setting, i.e., will forward the method call to classes(ops, centering(ops, dim(ops))).

Crystalline.composeMethod
compose(op::SymOperation, kv::KVec[, checkabc::Bool=true])  -->  KVec

Return the composition op $= \{\mathbf{W}|\mathbf{w}\}$ and a reciprocal-space vector kv $= \mathbf{k}$.

The operation is assumed to be specified the direct lattice basis, and kv in the reciprocal lattice basis. If both were specified in the Cartesian basis, op would act directly via its rotation part. However, because of the different bases, it now acts as:

\[ \mathbf{k}' = (\mathbf{W}^{\text{T}})^{-1}\mathbf{k}.\]

Note the transposition and inverse of $\mathbf{W}$, arising as a result of the implicit real-space basis of $\{\mathbf{W}|\mathbf{w}\}$ versus the reciprocal-space basis of $\mathbf{k}$. Note also that the composition of $\{\mathbf{W}|\mathbf{w}\}$ with $\mathbf{k}$ is invariant under $\mathbf{w}$, i.e., translations do not act in reciprocal space.

                                                 --> PointGroup{D}, Vector{Int}, Bool

Given a group g (or a collection of operators, defining a group), identifies a "parent" point group that is isomorphic to g.

Three variables are returned:

  • pg: the identified "parent" point group, with operators sorted to match the sorting of g's operators.
  • Iᵖ²ᵍ: a permutation vector which transforms the standard sorting of point group operations (as returned by pointgroup(::String)) to the operator sorting of g.
  • equal: a boolean, identifying whether the point group parts of g operations are identical (true) or merely isomorphic to the point group operations in g. In practice, this indicates whether pg and g are in the same setting or not.

Implementation

The identification is made partly on the basis of comparison of operators (this is is sufficient for the equal = true case) and partly on the basis of comparison of multiplication tables (equal = false case); the latter can be combinatorially slow if the sorting of operators is unlucky (i.e., if permutation between sortings in g and pg differ by many pairwise permutations).

Beyond mere isomorphisms of multiplication tables, the search also guarantees that all rotation orders are shared between pg and g; similarly, the rotation senses (e.g., 4⁺ & 4⁻ have opposite rotation senses or directions) are shared. This disambiguates point groups that are intrinsically isomorphic to eachother, e.g. "m" and "-1", but which still differ in their spatial interpretation.

From a vector (or vector of vectors) of symmetry eigenvalues symvals sampled along all the operations of a group gᵢ, whose irreps are contained in irs (evaluated with optional free parameters αβγ), return the multiplicities of each irrep.

Optionally, the multiciplities' element type can be specified via the assert_return_T argument (performing checked conversion; returns nothing if representation in assert_return_T is impossible). This can be useful if one suspects a particular band to transform like a fraction of an irrep (i.e., the specified symmetry data is incomplete).

If no valid set of multiplicities exist (i.e., is solvable, and has real-valued and assert_return_T representible type), the sentinel value nothing is returned. Optional debugging information can in this case be shown by setting verbose=true.

Effectively, this applies the projection operator P⁽ʲ⁾ of each irrep's character set χ⁽ʲ⁾(gᵢ) (j = 1, ... , Nⁱʳʳ) to the symmetry data sᵢ ≡ symvals:

P⁽ʲ⁾  ≡ (dⱼ/|g|) ∑ᵢ χ⁽ʲ⁾(gᵢ)*gᵢ         [characters χ⁽ʲ⁾(gᵢ), irrep dimension dⱼ]
-P⁽ʲ⁾s = (dⱼ/|g|) ∑ᵢ χ⁽ʲ⁾(gᵢ)*sᵢ = nⱼ,   [number of bands that transform like jth irrep]

returning the irrep multiplicities mⱼ ≡ nⱼ/dⱼ.

Crystalline.findmaximalMethod
findmaximal(sitegs::AbstractVector{<:SiteGroup})

Given an AbstractVector{<:SiteGroup} over the distinct Wyckoff positions of a space group, return those SiteGroups that are associated with a maximal Wyckoff positions.

Results are returned as a view into the input vector (i.e. as an AbstractVector{<:SiteGroup}). The associated Wyckoff positions can be retrieved via position.

Definition

A Wyckoff position is maximal if its site symmetry group has higher order than the site symmetry groups of any "nearby" Wyckoff positions (i.e. Wyckoff positions that can be connected, i.e. made equivalent, through parameter variation to the considered Wyckoff position).

Example

julia> sgnum = 5;

 generators(pgiuc::String, T::PointGroup{D}})              -->  Vector{SymOperation{D}}

Return the generators of the group type T which may be a SpaceGroup{D} or a PointGroup{D} parameterized by its dimensionality D. Depending on T, the group is determined by inputting as the first argument:

  • SpaceGroup{D}: the space group number num::Integer.
  • PointGroup{D}: the point group IUC label pgiuc::String (see also [pointgroup(::String)) or the canonical point group number num::Integer, which can optionally be supplemented by an integer-valued setting choice setting::Integer (see also pointgroup(::Integer, ::Integer, ::Integer)]).
  • SubperiodicGroup{D}: the subperiodic group number num::Integer.

Setting choices match those in spacegroup, pointgroup, and subperiodicgroup.

Iterated composition of the returned symmetry operations will generate all operations of the associated space or point group (see generate). As an example, generate(generators(num,SpaceGroup{D}))andspacegroup(num, D)` return identical operations (with different sorting typically); and similarly so for point and subperiodic groups.

Returns a Boolean answer (true if normal, false if not).

Crystalline.levelsetlatticeMethod
levelsetlattice(sgnum::Integer, D::Integer=2, idxmax::NTuple=ntuple(i->2,D))
     --> UnityFourierLattice{D}

Compute a "neutral"/uninitialized Fourier lattice basis, a UnityFourierLattice, consistent with the symmetries of the space group sgnum in dimension D. The resulting lattice flat is expanded in a Fourier basis split into symmetry-derived orbits, with intra-orbit coefficients constrained by the symmetries of the space-group. The inter-orbit coefficients are, however, free and unconstrained.

The Fourier resolution along each reciprocal lattice vector is controlled by idxmax: e.g., if D = 2 and idxmax = (2, 3), the resulting Fourier lattice may contain reciprocal lattice vectors (k₁, k₂) with k₁∈[0,±1,±2] and k₂∈[0,±1,±2,±3], referred to a 𝐆-basis.

This "neutral" lattice can, and usually should, be subsequently modulated by modulate (which modulates the inter-orbit coefficients, which may eliminate "synthetic symmetries" that can exist in the "neutral" configuration, due to all inter-orbit coefficients being set to unity).

Examples

Compute a UnityFourierLattice, modulate it with random inter-orbit coefficients via modulate, and finally plot it (via PyPlot.jl):

Returns a Dict with little group k-point labels as keys and vectors of LGIrrep{D}s as values.

Notes

  • The returned irreps are complex in general. Real irreps (as needed in time-reversal invariant settings) can subsequently be obtained with the realify method.
  • Returned irreps are spinless.
  • The irrep labelling follows CDML conventions.
  • Irreps along lines or planes may depend on free parameters αβγ that parametrize the k point. To evaluate the irreps at a particular value of αβγ and return the associated matrices, use (lgir::LGIrrep)(αβγ). If αβγ is an empty tuple in this call, the matrices associated with lgir will be evaluated assuming αβγ = [0,0,...].

-                        --> ModulatedFourierLattice{D}

Derive a concrete, modulated Fourier lattice from a UnityFourierLattice flat (containing the interrelations between orbit coefficients), by multiplying the "normalized" orbit coefficients by a modulation, a complex modulating vector (in general, should be complex; otherwise restores unintended symmetry to the lattice). Distinct modulation vectors produce distinct realizations of the same lattice described by the original flat. By default, a random complex vector is used.

An exponent expon can be provided, which introduces a penalty term to short- wavelength features (i.e. high-|G| orbits) by dividing the orbit coefficients by |G|^expon; producing a "simpler" and "smoother" lattice boundary when expon > 0 (reverse for expon < 0). This basically amounts to a continuous "simplifying" operation on the lattice (it is not necessarily a smoothing operation; it simply suppresses "high-frequency" components). If expon = nothing, no rescaling is performed. If Gs is provided as nothing, the orbit norm is computed in the reciprocal lattice basis (and, so, may not strictly speaking be a norm if the lattice basis is not cartesian); to account for the basis explicitly, Gs must be provided as a ReciprocalBasis, see also normscale.

Return the Mulliken label of a point group irrep pgir.

Notes

This functionality is a simple mapping between the tabulated CDML point group irrep labels and associated Mulliken labels [1], using the listings from the Bilbao Crystallographic Database [2].

Ignoring subscript, the rough rules associated with assignment of Mulliken labels are:

  1. Irrep dimensionality:
    • 1D irreps: if a real irrep, assign A or B (B if antisymmetric under a principal rotation); if a complex irrep, assigned label ¹E or ²E.
    • 2D irreps: assign label E.
    • 3D irreps: assign label T.
  2. u and g subscripts: if the group contains inversion, indicate whether irrep is symmetric (g ~ gerade) or antisymmetric (u ~ ungerade) under inversion.
  3. Prime superscripts: if the group contains a mirror m aligned with a principal rotation axis, but does not contain inversion, indicate whether irrep is symmetric (′) or antisymmetric (′′) under this mirror.
  4. Numeral subscripts: the rules for assignment of numeral subscripts are too complicated in general - and indeed, we are unaware of a general coherent rule – to describe here.

-                                                    --> AbstractVector{<:LGIrrep}

From lgirs, a vector of LGIrreps, determine the associated (gray) co-representations, i.e. the "real", or "physical" irreps that are relevant in scenarios with time-reversal symmetry.

For LGIrrep that are REAL, or that characterize a k-point 𝐤 which is not equivalent to -𝐤 (i.e. its star does not include both 𝐤 and -𝐤; equivalently, the little group includes time-reversal symmetry), the associated co-representations are just the original irreps themselves. For PSEUDOREAL and COMPLEX LGIrreps where ±𝐤 are equivalent, the associated co-representations are built from pairs of irreps that "stick" together. This method computes this pairing and sets the LGIrrep field iscorep to true, to indicate that the resulting "paired irrep" (i.e. the co-representation) should be doubled with itself (PSEUDOREAL reality) or its complex conjugate (COMPLEX reality).

Background

For background, see p. 650-652 (and p. 622-626 for point groups) in Bradley & Cracknell's book. Their discussion is for magnetic groups (the "realified" irreps are, in fact, simply co-representations of the "gray" magnetic groups). Cornwell's book also explicates this at some length as does Inui et al. (p. 296-299).

Example

+orbit(lgir::LGIrrep)

Return the orbit of of the reciprocal-space vector kv under the action of the group g, also known as the star of k.

The orbit of kv in g is the set of inequivalent k-points obtained by composition of all the symmetry operations of g with kv. Two reciprocal vectors $\mathbf{k}$ and $\mathbf{k}'$ are equivalent if they differ by a primitive reciprocal lattice vector.

If kv and g are specified in a conventional basis but refer to a non-primitive lattice, the centering type cntr must be provided to ensure that only equivalence by primitive (not conventional) reciprocal lattice vectors are considered. If the centering type of the group g can be inferred from g (e.g., if g is a SpaceGroup), orbit will assume a conventional setting and use the inferred centering type; otherwise, if cntr is neither explicitly set nor inferrable, a primitive setting is assumed.

Crystalline.subduction_countMethod
subduction_count(Dᴳᵢ, Dᴴⱼ[, αβγᴴⱼ]) --> Int

For two groups $G$ and $H$, where $H$ is a subgroup of $G$, i.e. $H<G$, with associated irreducible representations Dᴳᵢ = $D^G_i(g)$ and Dᴴⱼ = $D^H_j(g)$ over operations $g∈G$ and $h∈H<G$, compute the compatibility relation between the two irreps from the subduction reduction formula (or "magic" formula/Schur orthogonality relation), returning how many times $n^{GH}_{ij}$ the subduced representation $D^G_i↓H$ contains the irrep $D^H_j$; in other words, this gives the compatibility between the two irreps.

Optionally, a vector αβγᴴⱼ may be provided, to evaluate the characters/irreps of Dᴳᵢ at a concrete value of $(α,β,γ)$. This is e.g. meaningful for LGIrreps at non-special k-vectors. Defaults to nothing.

The result is computed using the reduction formula [see e.g. Eq. (15) of arXiv:1706.09272v2]:

$n^{GH}_{ij} = |H|^{-1} \sum_h \chi^G_i(h)\chi^H_j(h)^*$

Return the space group numbers of the 11 enantiomorphic space group pairs in 3D.

The space group types associated with each such pair (sgnum, sgnum') are related by a mirror transformation: i.e. there exists a transformation $\mathbb{P} = \{\mathbf{P}|\mathbf{p}\}$ between the two groups $G = \{g\}$ and $G' = \{g'\}$ such that $G' = \mathbb{P}^{-1}G\mathbb{P}$ where $\mathbf{P}$ is improper (i.e. $\mathrm{det}\mathbf{P} < 0$).

We define distinct space group types as those that cannot be related by a proper transformation (i.e. with $\mathrm{det}\mathbf{P} > 0$). With that view, there are 230 space group types. If the condition is relaxed to allow improper rotations, there are $230-11 = 219$ distinct affine space group types. See e.g. ITA5 Section 8.2.2.

The enantiomorphic space group types are also chiral space group types in 3D. There are no enantiomorphic pairs in lower dimensions; in 3D all enantiomorphic pairs involve screw symmetries, whose direction is inverted between pairs (i.e. have opposite handedness).

By default, only minimal paths are included in the sampling of k-vectors; additional paths can be obtained by setting the keyword argument allpaths = true (default, false).

The distinct topological classes identifiable from symmetry can can be calculated via classification, which uses the Smith normal form's principle factors:

Determine the crystal system of a point lattice with DirectBasis Rs, assuming the conventional setting choice defined in the International Tables of Crystallography [ITA6].

If a ReciprocalBasis Gs is provided for the associated reciprocal point lattice, the crystal system is determined by first transforming to the direct lattice.

There are 4 crystal systems in 2D and 7 in 3D (see Section 2.1.2(iii) of [ITA5]):

Keyword arguments

  • normalize: If the centering type associated with sgnum is 'A', we can choose (depending on the keyword argument normalize, defaulting to false) to "normalize" to the centering type 'C', since the difference between 'A' and 'C' centering only amounts to a basis change. With normalize=true we then have only the canonical 14 Bravais type, i.e. unique(bravaistype.(1:230, 3), normalize=true) returns only 14 distinct types, rather than 15.

Return the conventional centering type cntr of the space group with number sgnum and dimension D.

The centering type is equal to the first letter of the Hermann-Mauguin notation's label, i.e., centering(sgnum, D) == first(Crystalline.iuc(sgnum, D)). Equivalently, the centering type is the second and last letter of the Bravais type (bravaistype), i.e., centering(sgnum, D) == bravaistype(sgnum, D).

Possible values of cntr, depending on dimensionality D, are (see ITA Sec. 9.1.4):

  • D = 2:
    • cntr = 'p': no centring (primitive)

Free parameters in the lattice vectors are chosen randomly, with limits optionally supplied in abclims (lengths) and αβγlims (angles).

Given a set of primitive basis vectors Rs, return a basis Rs′ for the corresponding Niggli-reduced unit cell, as well as a transformation matrix P, such that Rs′ = transform(Rs, P) (see transform).

Definition

A Niggli-reduced basis $(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c})$ represents a unique choice of basis for any given lattice (or, more precisely, a unique choice of the basis vector lengths $|\mathbf{a}|, |\mathbf{b}|, |\mathbf{c}|$, and mutual angles between $\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}$). This uniqueness is one of the main motivations for computing the Niggli reduction procedure, as it enables easy comparison of lattices. Additionally, the associated Niggli-reduced basis vectors $(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c})$, fulfil several conditions [3]:

  1. "Main" conditions:
    • The basis vectors are sorted by increasing length: $|\mathbf{a}| ≤ |\mathbf{b}| ≤ |\mathbf{c}|$.
    • The angles between basis vectors are either all acute or all non-acute.
  2. "Special" conditions:
    • Several special conditions, applied in "special" cases, such as $|\mathbf{a}| = |\mathbf{b}|$ or \mathbf{b}\cdot\mathbf{c} = \tfrac{1}{2}|\mathbf{b}|^2. See Ref. [3] for details.

Equivalently, the Niggli-reduced basis fulfils the following geometric conditions (Section 9.3.1 of Ref. [3]):

  • The basis vectors are sorted by increasing length.
  • The basis vectors have least possible total length, i.e., ``|\mathbf{a}| + |\mathbf{b}|
    • |\mathbf{c}|`` is minimum. I.e., the associated Niggli cell is a Buerger cell.

Crystal systems & Bravais types

Bravais.crystalsystemFunction
crystalsystem(Rs::DirectBasis{D})  -->  String
+crystalsystem(Gs::ReciprocalBasis{D})  -->  String

Determine the crystal system of a point lattice with DirectBasis Rs, assuming the conventional setting choice defined in the International Tables of Crystallography [ITA6].

If a ReciprocalBasis Gs is provided for the associated reciprocal point lattice, the crystal system is determined by first transforming to the direct lattice.

There are 4 crystal systems in 2D and 7 in 3D (see Section 2.1.2(iii) of [ITA5]):

DSystemConditionsFree parameters

The Rs must specify a set of conventional basis vectors, i.e., not generally primitive. For primitive basis vectors, the crystal system can be further reduced into 5 Bravais types in 2D and 14 in 3D (see bravaistype).

source
Bravais.bravaistypeFunction
bravaistype(sgnum::Integer, D::Integer=3; normalize::Bool=false)  -->  String

Return the Bravais type of sgnum in dimension D as a string (as the concatenation of the single-character crystal abbreviation and the centering type).

Keyword arguments

  • normalize: If the centering type associated with sgnum is 'A', we can choose (depending on the keyword argument normalize, defaulting to false) to "normalize" to the centering type 'C', since the difference between 'A' and 'C' centering only amounts to a basis change. With normalize=true we then have only the canonical 14 Bravais type, i.e. unique(bravaistype.(1:230, 3), normalize=true) returns only 14 distinct types, rather than 15.

    This only affects space groups 38-41 (normalizing their conventional Bravais types from "oA" to "oC").

source
Bravais.centeringFunction
centering(g::AbstractGroup) --> Char

Return the conventional centering type of a group.

For groups without lattice structure (e.g., point groups), return nothing.

source
centering(sgnum::Integer, D::Integer=3)  -->  Char

Return the conventional centering type cntr of the space group with number sgnum and dimension D.

The centering type is equal to the first letter of the Hermann-Mauguin notation's label, i.e., centering(sgnum, D) == first(Crystalline.iuc(sgnum, D)). Equivalently, the centering type is the second and last letter of the Bravais type (bravaistype), i.e., centering(sgnum, D) == bravaistype(sgnum, D).

Possible values of cntr, depending on dimensionality D, are (see ITA Sec. 9.1.4):

  • D = 1:
    • cntr = 'p': no centering (primitive)
  • D = 2:
    • cntr = 'p': no centring (primitive)
    • cntr = 'c': face centered
  • D = 3:
    • cntr = 'P': no centring (primitive)
    • cntr = 'I': body centred (innenzentriert)
    • cntr = 'F': all-face centred
    • cntr = 'A' or 'C': one-face centred, (b,c) or (a,b)
    • cntr = 'R': hexagonal cell rhombohedrally centred

Basis construction

Bravais.crystalFunction
crystal(a, b, c, α, β, γ)  -->  DirectBasis{3}

Calculate basis vectors $\mathbf{R}_1$, $\mathbf{R}_2$, $\mathbf{R}_3$ in a 3D Cartesian basis for a right-handed coordinate system with specified basis vector lengths a, b, c (associated with $\mathbf{R}_1$, $\mathbf{R}_2$, & $\mathbf{R}_3$, respectively) and specified interaxial angles α $= ∠(\mathbf{R}_2,\mathbf{R}_3)$, β $= ∠(\mathbf{R}_3,\mathbf{R}_1)$, γ $= ∠(\mathbf{R}_1,\mathbf{R}_2)$, with $∠$ denoting the angle between two vectors.

For definiteness, the $\mathbf{R}_1$ basis vector is oriented along the $x$-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system, and the $\mathbf{R}_2$ axis is placed in the $xy$-plane.

source
crystal(a, b, γ)  -->  DirectBasis{2}

For definiteness, the $\mathbf{R}_1$ basis vector is oriented along the $x$-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system.

Return a random (conventional) DirectBasis for a crystal compatible with the space group number sgnum and dimensionality D. Free parameters in the lattice vectors are chosen randomly, with limits optionally supplied in abclims (lengths) and αβγlims (angles). By convention, the length of the first lattice vector (a) is set to unity, such that the second and third (b and c) lattice vectors' lengths are relative to the first.

Limits on the relative uniform distribution of lengths b and c can be specified as 2-tuple kwarg abclims; similarly, limits on the angles α, β, γ can be set via αβγlims (only affects oblique, monoclinic, & triclinic lattices).

source
Bravais.reciprocalbasisFunction
reciprocalbasis(Rs)  -->  ::ReciprocalBasis{D}

source
Bravais.nigglibasisFunction
nigglibasis(Rs; rtol=1e-5, max_iterations=200)

Given a set of primitive basis vectors Rs, return a basis Rs′ for the corresponding Niggli-reduced unit cell, as well as a transformation matrix P, such that Rs′ = transform(Rs, P) (see transform).

Definition

A Niggli-reduced basis $(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c})$ represents a unique choice of basis for any given lattice (or, more precisely, a unique choice of the basis vector lengths $|\mathbf{a}|, |\mathbf{b}|, |\mathbf{c}|$, and mutual angles between $\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}$). This uniqueness is one of the main motivations for computing the Niggli reduction procedure, as it enables easy comparison of lattices. Additionally, the associated Niggli-reduced basis vectors $(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c})$, fulfil several conditions [3]:

  1. "Main" conditions:
    • The basis vectors are sorted by increasing length: $|\mathbf{a}| ≤ |\mathbf{b}| ≤ |\mathbf{c}|$.
    • The angles between basis vectors are either all acute or all non-acute.
  2. "Special" conditions:
    • Several special conditions, applied in "special" cases, such as $|\mathbf{a}| = |\mathbf{b}|$ or \mathbf{b}\cdot\mathbf{c} = \tfrac{1}{2}|\mathbf{b}|^2. See Ref. [3] for details.

Equivalently, the Niggli-reduced basis fulfils the following geometric conditions (Section 9.3.1 of Ref. [3]):

  • The basis vectors are sorted by increasing length.
  • The basis vectors have least possible total length, i.e., ``|\mathbf{a}| + |\mathbf{b}|
    • |\mathbf{c}|`` is minimum. I.e., the associated Niggli cell is a Buerger cell.
  • The associated Buerger cell has maximum deviation among all other Buerger cells, i.e., the basis vector angles $α, β, γ$ maximize $|90° - α| + |90° - β| + |90° - γ|$.

Keyword arguments

  • rtol :: Real: relative tolerance used in the Grosse-Kunstleve approach for floating point comparisons (default: 1e-5).
  • max_iterations :: Int: maximum number of iterations in which to cycle the Krivy-Gruber steps (default: 200).

Transformations

Bravais.primitivebasismatrixFunction
primitivebasismatrix(cntr::Char, ::Val{D}=Val(3)) --> SMatrix{D,D,Float64}
 primitivebasismatrix(cntr::Char, ::Val{D}, ::Val{P}) --> SMatrix{D,D,Float64}

Return the transformation matrix $\mathbf{P}$ that transforms a conventional unit cell with centering cntr to the corresponding primitive unit cell (in dimension D and periodicity P) in CDML setting.

If P is not provided, it default to D (as e.g., applicable to Crystalline.jl's spacegroup). If D and P differ, a subperiodic group setting is assumed (as e.g., applicable to Crystalline.jl's subperiodicgroup).

Transformations in direct and reciprocal space

Bases

The returned transformation matrix $\mathbf{P}$ transforms a direct-space conventional basis $(\mathbf{a}\ \mathbf{b}\ \mathbf{c})$ to the direct-space primitive basis

\[ (\mathbf{a}'\ \mathbf{b}'\ \mathbf{c}') = (\mathbf{a}\ \mathbf{b}\ \mathbf{c})\mathbf{P}.\]

Analogously, $\mathbf{P}$ transforms a reciprocal-space conventional basis $(\mathbf{a}^*\ \mathbf{b}^*\ \mathbf{c}^*)$ to

\[(\mathbf{a}^{*\prime}\ \mathbf{b}^{*\prime}\ \mathbf{c}^{*\prime}) = (\mathbf{a}^*\ \mathbf{b}^*\ \mathbf{c}^*)(\mathbf{P}^{-1})^{\text{T}}.\]

see also transform(::DirectBasis, ::AbstractMatrix{<:Real}) and transform(::ReciprocalBasis, ::AbstractMatrix{<:Real})).

Coordinates

The coordinates of a point in either direct or reciprocal space, each referred to a basis, also transform under $\mathbf{P}$. Concretely, direct- and reciprocal-space conventional points $\mathbf{r} = (r_1, r_2, r_3)^{\text{T}}$ and $\mathbf{k} = (k_1, k_2, k_3)^{\text{T}}$, respectively, transform to a primitive setting under $\mathbf{P}$ according to:

\[\mathbf{r}' = \mathbf{P}^{-1}\mathbf{r},\\ -\mathbf{k}' = \mathbf{P}^{\text{T}}\mathbf{k}.\]

See also transform(::DirectPoint, ::AbstractMatrix{<:Real}) and transform(::ReciprocalPoint, ::AbstractMatrix{<:Real})).

Setting conventions

The setting choice for the primitive cell implied by the returned $\mathbf{P}$ follows the widely adopted Cracknell-Davies-Miller-Love (CDML) convention.[CDML] This convention is explicated e.g. in Table 2 of [Aroyo] (or, alternatively, can be inferred from Tables 1.5.4.1 and 1.5.4.2 of [ITB2]) and is followed e.g. on the Bilbao Crystallographic Server[BCS], in the CDML reference work on space group irreps[CDML], and in the C library spglib.[spglib]

Note that this setting choice is not what is frequently referred to as the "ITA primitive setting", from which it differs for hP, hR, and oA Bravais types.

The setting choice is usually referred to as the CDML primitive setting, or, less frequently and more ambiguously, as the crystallographic primitive setting.

Transforms a op $= \{\mathbf{W}|\mathbf{w}\}$ by a rotation matrix P and a translation vector p (can be nothing for zero-translations), producing a new symmetry operation op′ $= \{\mathbf{W}'|\mathbf{w}'\}$ (cf. Section 1.5.2.3 of [ITA6])

with

\[\mathbf{W}' = \mathbf{P}^{-1}\mathbf{W}\mathbf{P} \text{ and } -\mathbf{w}' = \mathbf{P}^{-1}(\mathbf{w}+\mathbf{W}\mathbf{p}-\mathbf{p})\]

Transforms a op $= \{\mathbf{W}|\mathbf{w}\}$ by a rotation matrix P and a translation vector p (can be nothing for zero-translations), producing a new symmetry operation op′ $= \{\mathbf{W}'|\mathbf{w}'\}$ (cf. Section 1.5.2.3 of [ITA6])

Specifically, if flat refers to a direct conventional basis Rs $≡ (\mathbf{a} \mathbf{b} \mathbf{c})$ [with coordinate vectors $\mathbf{r} ≡ (r_1, r_2, r_3)^{\mathrm{T}}$] then flat′ refers to a direct primitive basis Rs′ $≡ (\mathbf{a}' \mathbf{b}' \mathbf{c}') ≡ (\mathbf{a} \mathbf{b} \mathbf{c})\mathbf{P}$ [with coordinate vectors $\mathbf{r}' ≡ (r_1', r_2', r_3')^{\mathrm{T}} = \mathbf{P}^{-1}\mathbf{r}$], where $\mathbf{P}$ denotes the basis-change matrix obtained from primitivebasismatrix(...).

To compute the associated primitive basis vectors, see primitivize(::DirectBasis, ::Char) [specifically, Rs′ = primitivize(Rs, cntr)].

Examples

Compose two symmetry operations op1 $= \{W₁|w₁\}$ and op2 $= \{W₂|w₂\}$ and return the quotient of $w₁+W₁w₂$ and 1.

Crystalline.levelsetlatticeFunction
levelsetlattice(sgnum::Integer, D::Integer=2, idxmax::NTuple=ntuple(i->2,D))
     --> UnityFourierLattice{D}

Compute a "neutral"/uninitialized Fourier lattice basis, a UnityFourierLattice, consistent with the symmetries of the space group sgnum in dimension D. The resulting lattice flat is expanded in a Fourier basis split into symmetry-derived orbits, with intra-orbit coefficients constrained by the symmetries of the space-group. The inter-orbit coefficients are, however, free and unconstrained.

The Fourier resolution along each reciprocal lattice vector is controlled by idxmax: e.g., if D = 2 and idxmax = (2, 3), the resulting Fourier lattice may contain reciprocal lattice vectors (k₁, k₂) with k₁∈[0,±1,±2] and k₂∈[0,±1,±2,±3], referred to a 𝐆-basis.

This "neutral" lattice can, and usually should, be subsequently modulated by modulate (which modulates the inter-orbit coefficients, which may eliminate "synthetic symmetries" that can exist in the "neutral" configuration, due to all inter-orbit coefficients being set to unity).

Examples

Compute a UnityFourierLattice, modulate it with random inter-orbit coefficients via modulate, and finally plot it (via PyPlot.jl):

julia> uflat = levelsetlattice(16, Val(2))
 julia> flat  = modulate(uflat)

 expon::Union{Nothing, Real}=nothing, Gs::Union{ReciprocalBasis{D}, Nothing}=nothing)
-                        --> ModulatedFourierLattice{D}

Derive a concrete, modulated Fourier lattice from a UnityFourierLattice flat (containing the interrelations between orbit coefficients), by multiplying the "normalized" orbit coefficients by a modulation, a complex modulating vector (in general, should be complex; otherwise restores unintended symmetry to the lattice). Distinct modulation vectors produce distinct realizations of the same lattice described by the original flat. By default, a random complex vector is used.

An exponent expon can be provided, which introduces a penalty term to short- wavelength features (i.e. high-|G| orbits) by dividing the orbit coefficients by |G|^expon; producing a "simpler" and "smoother" lattice boundary when expon > 0 (reverse for expon < 0). This basically amounts to a continuous "simplifying" operation on the lattice (it is not necessarily a smoothing operation; it simply suppresses "high-frequency" components). If expon = nothing, no rescaling is performed. If Gs is provided as nothing, the orbit norm is computed in the reciprocal lattice basis (and, so, may not strictly speaking be a norm if the lattice basis is not cartesian); to account for the basis explicitly, Gs must be provided as a ReciprocalBasis, see also normscale.

primitivize(flat::AbstractFourierLattice, cntr::Char) --> ::typeof(flat)

Given flat referred to a conventional basis with centering cntr, compute the derived (but physically equivalent) lattice flat′ referred to the associated primitive basis.

Specifically, if flat refers to a direct conventional basis Rs $≡ (\mathbf{a} \mathbf{b} \mathbf{c})$ [with coordinate vectors $\mathbf{r} ≡ (r_1, r_2, r_3)^{\mathrm{T}}$] then flat′ refers to a direct primitive basis Rs′ $≡ (\mathbf{a}' \mathbf{b}' \mathbf{c}') ≡ (\mathbf{a} \mathbf{b} \mathbf{c})\mathbf{P}$ [with coordinate vectors $\mathbf{r}' ≡ (r_1', r_2', r_3')^{\mathrm{T}} = \mathbf{P}^{-1}\mathbf{r}$], where $\mathbf{P}$ denotes the basis-change matrix obtained from primitivebasismatrix(...).

To compute the associated primitive basis vectors, see primitivize(::DirectBasis, ::Char) [specifically, Rs′ = primitivize(Rs, cntr)].

Examples

A centered ('c') lattice from plane group 5 in 2D, plotted in its conventional and primitive basis (requires using PyPlot):

julia> sgnum = 5; D = 2; cntr = centering(sgnum, D)  # 'c' (body-centered)
+                        --> ModulatedFourierLattice{D}

Derive a concrete, modulated Fourier lattice from a UnityFourierLattice flat (containing the interrelations between orbit coefficients), by multiplying the "normalized" orbit coefficients by a modulation, a complex modulating vector (in general, should be complex; otherwise restores unintended symmetry to the lattice). Distinct modulation vectors produce distinct realizations of the same lattice described by the original flat. By default, a random complex vector is used.

An exponent expon can be provided, which introduces a penalty term to short- wavelength features (i.e. high-|G| orbits) by dividing the orbit coefficients by |G|^expon; producing a "simpler" and "smoother" lattice boundary when expon > 0 (reverse for expon < 0). This basically amounts to a continuous "simplifying" operation on the lattice (it is not necessarily a smoothing operation; it simply suppresses "high-frequency" components). If expon = nothing, no rescaling is performed. If Gs is provided as nothing, the orbit norm is computed in the reciprocal lattice basis (and, so, may not strictly speaking be a norm if the lattice basis is not cartesian); to account for the basis explicitly, Gs must be provided as a ReciprocalBasis, see also normscale.
