Each k-vector specifies a different periodicity. If you're 1D periodic in X, you would do something like
(set-param! k-point (vector3 0.4 0)) the z-component of the vector3 defaults to 0. if you want to run many k-points (to obtain a band diagram, for example), you can do something like this: (define-param k-interp 19) (run-k-points 300 (interpolate k-interp (list (vector3 0) (vector3 0.5)))) There's a nice example here: http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Meep_Tutorial/Band_diagram%2C_resonant_modes%2C_and_transmission_in_a_holey_waveguide Best, Matt On Mon, 14 May 2007, lrj wrote: > hello, > > In meep reference, it says that if the k-point is a vector, then the > boundaries are bloch-periodic.
