stemtool.sim.multislice.atomic_potential(atom_no, pixel_size, sampling=16, potential_extent=4, datafile='Kirkland_Potentials.npy')[source]

Calculate the projected potential of a single atom

Parameters:
  • atom_no (int) – Atomic number of the atom whose potential is being calculated.
  • pixel_size (float) – Real space pixel size
  • datafile (string) – Load the location of the npy file of the Kirkland scattering factors
  • sampling (int, float) – Supersampling factor for increased accuracy. Matters more with big pixel sizes. The default value is 16.
  • potential_extent (float) – Distance in angstroms from atom center to which the projected potential is calculated. The default value is 4 angstroms.
Returns:

potential – Projected potential matrix
Return type:

ndarray

Notes

We calculate the projected screened potential of an atom using the Kirkland formula. Keep in mind however that this potential is for independent atoms only! No charge distribution between atoms occure here.
