get_distribution

sisl.physics.get_distribution(method, smearing=0.1, x0=0.0)

Create a distribution function, Gaussian, Lorentzian etc.

See the details regarding the distributions in their respective documentation.

Parameters:

• method (Literal['gaussian', 'lorentzian', 'fermi', 'bose-einstein', 'cold', 'step-function', 'heaviside']) – distribution function

• smearing (float) – smearing parameter for methods that have a smearing

• x0 (float | TypeAliasForwardRef('~numpy.typing.ArrayLike')) – maximum/middle of the distribution function

Returns:

a function which accepts one argument

Return type:

callable
