LatticeBond Objects

A LatticeBond is a simple struct which represents an interaction bond in a lattice model. It does not have to be a nearest-neighbor bond only, and can represent interactions of various distances and types.

Functions such as squareLattice and triangularLattice return a std::vector of LatticeBond objects which can be iterated over in a range-based for loop. For more information about these functions see Functions for Making Lattices.

Synopsis

int Nx = 10;
int Ny = 10;
auto lattice = squareLattice(Nx,Ny);
// lattice is a std::vector<LatticeBond>

for(auto& bnd : lattice) // bnd is of type LatticeBond
    {
    printfln("Bond from site %d -> %d",bnd.s1,bnd.s2);
    printfln("  Connecting points (%s,%s) -> (%s,%s)",bnd.x1,bnd.y1,bnd.x2,bnd.y2);
    printfln("  This bond is of type \"%s\"",bnd.type);
    }

LatticeBond Data Members

• s1 (int) — site number of the first site
• s2 (int) — site number of the second site
• x1 (Real) — x coordinate of the first site
• y1 (Real) — y coordinate of the first site
• x2 (Real) — x coordinate of the second site
• y2 (Real) — y coordinate of the second site
• type (string) — string labeling the type of the bond - see Functions for Making Lattices for more information of the LatticeBond types returned by each function
