This tutorial covers the basic aspects that are necessary to start using KITE. You will learn about the different steps in KITE's workflow and how to tweak the different parameters.
The tutorial is structured as follows:
- Learn about KITE's workflow
- Build a tight-binding model using
pb.Lattice
- How to specify the settings for a calculation
- How to calculate the different target-functions
- Post-process the results with KITE-tools
- Adding disorder or magnetic field to the tight-binding model
- How to edit the HDF5-file
- Optimize the settings for various calculations
More examples
In the section Examples, some applications to different structures are given, including the caluclation. More examples can be found in the KITE-repository under kite/examples.
First calculation with KITE
Let us do a simple first calculation with KITE. (Do not worry about the details, these will be covered later.)
Tip
Run this example from the kite/
-folder to have acces to KITE's python package.
