The gimme-alpha Project
Design
gimme-alpha is a set of software designed to calculate the Rashba spin-orbit coefficient of a quantum well (“alpha”). It has additional software oriented around nanostrucutres and particularly getting data out of nextnano runs.
There are four libraries:
- libcommon
- Provides common routines useful outside of a physics context.
- libmodeling
- Provides data structures and routines to handle nanostructure calculations in C. Was a first attempt to unify nanostructure calculation infrastructure.
- libnextnano
- Provides routines to read nextnano input and output files. It was written as needs dictated, and is very far from complete.
- libpostproccalx
- Provides routines and data structures for doing calculations from lower-level calculations, particularly Rasbha spin-orbit coupling from eigenenergies and eigenstates from nextnano or another nanostructure code.
Reference Documenation
Doxygen-generated developer documentation is now available.
