Quickstart tutorial

If you are already familiar with multiplet calculations this page and our examples page are a good part to start. Otherwise, checkout our Pedagogical examples to learn the concepts behind how edrixs works.

Use edrixs as an ED calculator

edrixs can be used as a simple ED calculator to get eigenvalues (eigenvectors) of a many-body Hamiltonian with small size dimension (\(< 1,000\)). We will give an example to get eigenvalues for a \(t_{2g}\)-orbital system (\(l_{eff}=1\)). There are 6 orbitals including spin.

Launch your favorite python terminal:

>>> import edrixs
>>> import scipy
>>> norb = 6
>>> noccu = 2
>>> Ud, JH = edrixs.UJ_to_UdJH(4, 1)
>>> F0, F2, F4 = edrixs.UdJH_to_F0F2F4(Ud, JH)
>>> umat = edrixs.get_umat_slater('t2g', F0, F2, F4)
>>> emat = edrixs.atom_hsoc('t2g', 0.2)
>>> basis = edrixs.get_fock_bin_by_N(norb, noccu)
>>> H = edrixs.build_opers(4, umat, basis)
>>> e1, v1 = scipy.linalg.eigh(H)
>>> H += edrixs.build_opers(2, emat, basis)
>>> e2, v2 = scipy.linalg.eigh(H)
>>> print(e1)
[1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 3. 3. 3. 3. 3. 6.]
>>> print(e2)

Hello RIXS!

This is a “Hello World!” example for RIXS simulations at Ni (\(3d^8\)) \(L_{2/3}\) edges. \(L_3\) means transition from Ni-\(2p_{3/2}\) to Ni-\(3d\), and \(L_2\) means transition from Ni-\(2p_{1/2}\) to Ni-\(3d\).
