Parameter

Template of parameter. A submodule of ElectronGas.

Use the convention where ħ=1, k_B=1.
Only stores parameters that might change for purposes.

function atomicUnit(Θ, rs, dim = 3, spin = 2; kwargs...)

assume 4πϵ0=1, me=1, e0=1

#Arguments:

• Θ: dimensionless temperature. beta could be different from β
• rs: Wigner-Seitz radius over Bohr radius.
• dim: dimension of the system
• spin: spin = 1 or 2
• kwargs: user may explicity set other paramters using the key/value pairs

function defaultUnit(Θ, rs)

assume 4πϵ0=1, me=0.5, EF=1

#Arguments:

• Θ: dimensionless temperature. Since EF=1 we have β=beta
• rs: Wigner-Seitz radius over Bohr radius.

function derive(param::Para; kws...)

Reconstruct a new Para with given key word arguments. This is needed because the default reconstruct generated by Parameters.jl could not handle derived parameters correctly.

#Arguments:

• param: only "non-derived" fields that's not mentioned in kws are extracted from param
• kws...: new values

function fullUnit(ϵ0, e0, me, EF, β)

generate Para with a complete set of parameters, no value presumed.

#Arguments:

• ϵ0: vacuum permittivity
• e0: electron charge
• me: electron mass
• EF: Fermi energy
• β: inverse temperature

isZeroT(para) = (para.β == Inf)

check if it is at zero temperature or not.

function rydbergUnit(Θ, rs, dim = 3, spin = 2; kwargs...)

assume 4πϵ0=1, me=0.5, e0=sqrt(2)

#Arguments:

• Θ: dimensionless temperature. beta could be different from β
• rs: Wigner-Seitz radius over Bohr radius.
• dim: dimension of the system
• spin: spin = 1 or 2
• kwargs: user may explicity set other paramters using the key/value pairs
