SlabCorrection

class SlabCorrection : public feasst::VisitModel

For a periodically repeated slab 3 to 5 times larger than the thickness of the slab,

\(U = \frac{2\pi}{V} M_z^2\)

\(M_z = \sum^N_{i=i}q_i z_i\)

where z is the position in the slab dimension, q is the charge and V is the volume.

Public Functions

double net_dipole(const Configuration &config) const

Return the net dipole of the configuration.

void compute(ModelOneBody *model, const ModelParams &model_params, Configuration *config, const int group_index = 0)

Compute interactions of entire group in configuration from scratch. This is not optimized for smaller perturbations to the configuration.

void compute(ModelOneBody *model, const ModelParams &model_params, const Select &selection, Configuration *config, const int group_index)

Compute by selection is optimized for perturbations to the system.

Arguments

  • dimension: dimension of periodically replicated slab.
