The mp-lattice-info command displays a variety of information about a lattice file.
Synopsis
mp-lattice-info [options] <wavefunction>
The mp-lattice-info command displays information about a lattice file, including a description of the lattice, the command line that was used to generate the file, the symmetries, the unit cell, operators, and functions.
Options
--help
show help message
-v, --verbose
show additional information. Can be used multiple times. One level of -v lists every local operator at each site of the unit cell. Two levels -v -v additionally lists the matrix elements of each local operator.
Examples
- The lattice of an infinite spin-1/2 chain:
$ spinchain-su2 -o lattice
$ mp-lattice-info lattice

Lattice operators:
H_B1 - nearest neighbor biquadratic spin exchange (S.S)^2
H_B2 - next-nearest neighbor biquadratic spin exchange (S.S)^2
H_B3 - next-next-nearest neighbor biquadratic spin exchange (S.S)^2
H_J1 - nearest neighbor spin exchange
H_J2 - next-nearest neighbor spin exchange
H_J3 - next-next-nearest neighbor spin exchange
H_Q1 - nearest neighbor quadrupole exchange (Q.Q)
H_Q2 - next-nearest neighbor quadrupole exchange (Q.Q)
H_Q3 - next-next-nearest neighbor quadrupole exchange (Q.Q)
Lattice functions:
(none)
This is an easy way to look up the various operators defined on a lattice.
Notes
- The descriptions of the model and operators need to be explicitly set by the model program. Not all models do this, so the information displayed by
mp-lattice-info can be of variable quality.
- When writing or modifying models, remember to set descriptions for the model itself, and all operators and functions.
