Space Group Irreducible Representations


Space groups and representations...
This program calculates irreducible representations of space groups. Space group irreps are labeled by k-vector star and corresponding little group representation number.

Input data :
  1. Space group number as given in ITA.
  2. k-vector data :
    • Reciprocal lattice basis type, which may be primitive (as in Cracknell-Davies-Miller-Love tables [1]), dual to the conventional (ITA), or dual to non-conventional (see 3.)
    • k-vector coordinates relative to chosen basis as any three decimal numbers or fractions.
    • Label of the k-vector (up to three letters).

  3. You may change the conventional basis of the group to another one by entering a transformation that relates two bases. The transformation, in general, consists of a rotational part and an origin shift.
  4. The program gives you the possibility to get the irrep matrices for any element of the space group. For that it is necessary to enter the rotational and translational parts of the element in the corresponding fields. ( The rotational and translational parts of any element can be obtained from General positions ).
