tbplas.get_lattice_area

tbplas.get_lattice_area(lat_vec: ndarray, direction: str = 'c') → float

Calculate the area along given direction. :param lat_vec: (3, 3) float64 array

Cartesian coordinates of lattice vectors, with each ROW being a vector

Parameters:

direction – direction along which the area is evaluated, should be in (“a”, “b”, “c”)

Returns:

area along given direction in squared unit of lattice vectors
