Detailed Documentation
This program enables the calculation of band structures for phononic crystals, which are materials composed of periodic arrays that exhibit interactions between acoustic waves and electrons. The implementation incorporates electron-phonon interaction effects through numerical algorithms such as plane wave expansion or finite element methods, allowing precise computation of phononic crystal band structures. Key computational steps include setting up the periodic lattice geometry, defining material parameters, solving eigenvalue problems for wave propagation, and visualizing dispersion relations. This capability is crucial for investigating electrical, optical, and thermal properties of phononic crystals, as well as for supporting material design and synthesis processes through predictive modeling.
