Steps

asr.c2db.shg

asr.c2db.shg.main(atoms, calculator={'charge': 0, 'convergence': {'bands': 'CBM+3.0'}, 'kpts': {'density': 12.0, 'gamma': True}, 'mode': {'ecut': 800, 'name': 'pw'}, 'name': 'gpaw', 'nbands': '200%', 'occupations': {'name': 'fermi-dirac', 'width': 0.05}, 'txt': 'gs.txt', 'xc': 'PBE'}, kptdensity=25.0, gauge='lg', bandfactor=4, eta=0.05, maxomega=10.0, nromega=1000, removefiles=False)[source]

Calculate the SHG spectrum, only independent tensor elements.

The recipe computes the SHG spectrum. The tensor in general have 18 independent tensor elements (since it is symmetric). However, the point group symmety reduces the number of independent tensor elements. The SHG spectrum is calculated using perturbation theory, where the perturbation can be written in either the length gauge (r.E) or velocity gauge (p.A).

Parameters

  • gs (str) – The ground state filename.

  • kptdensity (float) – K-point density.

  • gauge (str) – Selected gauge (length “lg” or velocity “vg”).

  • bandfactor (int) – Number of unoccupied bands: (#occ. bands) * bandfactor.

  • eta (float) – Broadening used for finding the spectrum.

  • maxomega (float) – Max pump frequency.

  • nromega (int) – Number of pump frequencies.

  • removefiles (bool) – Remove intermediate files that are created.

  • atoms (ase.atoms.Atoms) –

  • calculator (dict) –
