Thank you so much for your time.

I will try it.

Well you'll have to look in the paper to answer that question; you're in
a better position to answer that than me. Maybe a Peierls phase?

If you just want to diagonalize a 2x2 H(k) then you don't even need
Kwant; you can just make a function that gives you H(k) given a k
vector, and then diagonalize the result using scipy.linalg.eigs.

Does the model already contain the terms for a magnetic field in the x
direction? The answer will depend on what effects you are taking into
account: do you want the orbital component, or just the action on the
spin degree of freedom? The answer will depend on what you are trying to
model, and this is a question that you will need to answer for yourself.


Happy Kwanting,

Joe
