3.1.14. horton/cell.h – Unit cell code to specify periodic boundary conditions¶
Functions
-
long
smart_wrap(long i, long shape, long pbc)¶ A standardized modulo operation that works across all compilers.
- Return
- i % shape if pbc is non-zero. -1 is returned otherwise.
- class
- #include <cell.h>
3D/2D/1D periodic boundary conditions and derived quantities.
Upon construction, an object of this class acts as a read-only representation of the periodic boundary conditions. Reciprocal cell vectors, vector lengths and spacings between planes are computed immediately. All sorts of manipulations of fractional/Cartesian coordinates are supported.
Note that this implementation is specific for 3D systems, eventhough lower- dimensional periodic boundary conditions are supported. In case of 1D or 2D PBC, the cell vectors are internally extended with orthogonal basis vectors to guarantee an invertible transformation between cartesian and fractional coordinates.
Public Functions
-
Cell::Cell(double *_rvecs, int _nvec)¶ Construct a Cell object.
- Parameters
_rvecs-A pointer to 3*nvec doubles that represent the real-space vectors in row-major ordering.
_nvec-The number of cell vectors. This corresponds to the dimensionality of the periodic boundary conditions.
-
void
Cell::mic(double *delta) const¶ Apply the minimum image convention to a real-space relative vector.
This is an approximate implementation that sometimes fails in very skewed cells. This is a common weakness in most implementations. For more details see: http://scicomp.stackexchange.com/questions/3107/minimum-image-convention-for-triclinic-unit-cell
- Parameters
delta-A pointer to 3 doubles with the relative vector. It will be modified inplace.
-
void
Cell::to_frac(double *cart, double *frac) const¶ Convert a real-space vector to fractional coordinates.
- Parameters
cart-A pointer to 3 doubles containing the input real-space vector.
frac-A pointer to 3 doubles in which the output is written.
-
void
Cell::to_cart(double *frac, double *cart) const¶ Convert a fractional coordinates vector to real-space coordinates. This can also be interpreted as making a linear combination of real-space cell vectors.
- Parameters
frac-A pointer to 3 doubles containing the input fractional coordinates.
cart-A pointer to 3 doubles to which the output is written
-
void
Cell::g_lincomb(double *coeffs, double *gvec) const¶ Construct a linear combination of reciprocal cell vectors.
- Parameters
coeffs-A pointer to 3 doubles containing the coefficients for the linear combination.
gvec-A pointer to 3 doubles to which the output is written

void
Cell::dot_rvecs(double *cart, double *dots) const¶ Compute a dot-product of a real-space vector with each cell vector.
- Parameters
cart-A pointer to 3 doubles containing the input fractional coordinates.

void
Cell::add_rvec(double *delta, long *coeffs) const¶ Add a linear combination of cell vectors to delta.
- Parameters
delta-A pointer to 3 doubles for the real-space vector to which the linear combination is added inplace.
coeffs-A pointer to 3 doubles with the coefficients of the linear combination.

-
void
Cell::set_ranges_rcut(double *center, double rcut, long *ranges_begin, long *ranges_end) const¶ Get ranges of periodic images without a cutoff radius.
This function effectively defines a supercell that is guaranteed to enclose the cutoff sphere.
- Parameters
center-A pointer to three doubles that specify the center of the cutoff sphere in real-space.
rcut-The cutoff radius.
ranges_begin-A pointer to nvec longs to which the begin of each range of periodic images along a periodic boundary condition is written.
ranges_end-A pointer to nvec longs to which the end of each range of periodic images along a periodic boundary condition is written. Then end values are non-inclusive as in Python ranges.
