 ====== Properties ====== ====== Properties ======
  
-### +Tight Binding objects have the following standard properties: 
-alligned paragraph text + 
-###+  * Name: a string 
 +  * Cell: {a,b,c} defining the unit cell of the system. a, b and c are vectors of length 3 and define the uni-cell vectors. 
 +  * ReciprocalCell: {a,b,c} the reciprocal cell, satisfying the condition $\vec{r}\cdot\vec{g}=2\pi$, where $\vec{r}$ are the unit-cell vectors and $\vec{g}$ are the reciprocal-cell vectors. 
 +  * Atoms: a list of atoms, their positions within the unit cell and their atomic shells (spin-orbitals). Each element has the format {Atom.Name, Atom.Position, {Atom.Shells}}. The Atom.Shells can be a list of atomic shell with arbitrary number of orbitals, including or not including spin. For example: {"H", {0,0,0}, { {"s", {"^{dn}", "^{up}"}, {"p",  {"_y^{dn}", "_y^{up}", "_z^{dn}", "_z^{up}", "_x^{dn}", "_x^{up}"} } } } } . 
 +  * NAtoms: number of atoms in //TB.Atoms// 
 +  * Hopping: A list of local and non-local hoppings among atomic shells. Each element has the format {Atom1.Shell_i, Atom2.Shell_j, {a,b,c}, T}, where here {a,b,c} is the distance between the two atoms and T is an array defines the hopping matrix elements among the spin-orbitals of Atom1.Shell_i and Atom1.Shell_j . (in second-quantization language: $ \Sigma t_{\sigma, \sigma'} a^{\dagger}_{\sigma} a_{\sigma'} $) 
 +  * Units: {Units[1], Units[2], Units[3]} (see below) 
 +  * NF: number of fermionic modes  
 + 
 +The //Units// property is a list of three strings with the following components:  
 +  * Units[1]: Sets the scaling for the reciprocal lattice, e.g., $\vec{r}\cdot\vec{g}=2\pi$ for "2Pi" or $\vec{r}\cdot\vec{g}=1$ for "NoPi". (standard value "2Pi") 
 +  * Units[2]: Defines the unit of measurement as "Angstrom", "Bohr", or "nanometer". (standard value "Angstrom") 
 +  * Units[3]: Selects "Absolute" or "Relative" for the definition of atom positions. (standard value "Absolute") 
 + 
 +For creating a tight-binding object, one needs to define at least the properties //TB.Cell//, //TB.Atoms// and //TB.Hopping//. The rest of the properties will be either automatically calculated or will be set with standard values (//TB.Name// and //TB.Units//). See also //[[documentation:language_reference:functions:NewTightBinding|NewTightBinding()]]//.
