BlochVector¶
Type: | Vector<complex> |
---|---|
Range: | [v_1, …, v_3] |
Default: | -/- |
Appearance: | optional |
Sets Bloch-vector which is needed to specify the Bloch-periodicity for periodic geometries. For the discussion of periodic boundary conditions see here in the section Electromagnetics. For a Source
definition using Python, the Bloch-periodicity cannot be automatically detected by JCMsolve
and has to be stated explicitly.
For two-dimensional, -invariant problems the third component of the Bloch-vector, , has the meaning of a wavenumber as detailed here in the parent section.
