class pyiron.dft.waves.electronic.ElectronicStructure[source]¶

Bases: object

This is a generic module to store electronic structure data in a clean way. Kpoint and Band classes are used to store information related to kpoints and bands respectively. Every spin configuration has a set of k-points and every k-point has a set of bands associated with it. This is loosely adapted from the pymatgen electronic_structure modules. Many of the functions have been substantially modified for pyiron
