Orbit¶

class _icet.Orbit¶

add_equivalent_sites()¶

allowed_permutations¶

Get the list of equivalent permutations for this orbit.

If this orbit is a triplet and the permutation [0,2,1] exists this means that The lattice sites [s1, s2, s3] are equivalent to [s1, s3, s2] This will have the effect that for a ternary CE the cluster functions (0,1,0) will not be considered since it is equivalent to (0,0,1).

equivalent_sites¶: List of equivalent Lattice Sites

get_all_possible_mc_vector_permutations()¶

Similar to get all permutations but needs to be filtered through the number of allowed elements.

Parameters:	allowed_components (list of int) – The allowed components for the lattice sites, allowed_components[i] correspond to the lattice site self.representative_sites[i]. all_mc_vectors (returns) –

get_allowed_sites_permutations()¶

get_equivalent_sites()¶

get_equivalent_sites_permutations()¶

get_mc_vectors()¶

Return the mc vectors for this orbit given the allowed components. The mc vectors are returned as a list of tuples

Parameters:	allowed_components (list of int) – The allowed components for the lattice sites, allowed_components[i] correspond to the number of allowed compoments at lattice site orbit.representative_sites[i].

get_representative_cluster()¶: The representative cluster represents the geometrical version of what this orbit is.

get_representative_sites()¶

get_sites_with_permutation()¶: Return the permuted to representative sites of equivalent_sites[index].

order¶: Returns the order of the orbit. The order is the same as the number of bodies in the representative cluster or the number of lattice sites per element in equivalent_sites.

permutations_to_representative¶

list of permutations; permutations_to_representative[i] takes self.equivalent_sites[i] to the same order as self.representative_sites.

This can be used if you for example want to count elements and are interested in difference between ABB, BAB, BBA and so on. If you count the lattice sites that are permuted according to these permutations then you will get the correct counts.

permuted_sites¶: Get the equivalent sites but permuted to representative site.

radius¶: Returns the radius of the representative cluster.

representative_cluster¶: The representative cluster represents the geometrical version of what this orbit is.

representative_sites¶: The representative sites is a list of lattice sites that are uniquely picked out for this orbit which can be used to represent and distinguish between orbits.

sort()¶: Sort the equivalent sites list.
