Hi, I'm currently doing a project involving honeycomb lattice involving nearest and next nearest neighbour interaction. How do i go about modifying the lattice ? Regards

Matthias, et al., Could you please post how to code this for one, two, three and four spins? From there I should be able to extend it out to N spins. I'll likely be working with N<=16.

errors: installing ALPS 2.0.3 on Ubuntu 11.10
by Jin Xu 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Dear Madam/Sir, I am a senior undergraduate student from Department of Physics, Zhejiang University, China. I've been trying many times to install ALPS 2.0.3 on my Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop but I failed. I will appreciate if you could help me fix the problems so that I can use python to run ALPS. The installation steps and the errors are listed below: 1. I used Ubuntu Software Center to install the dependent libraries and tools: cmake-curses-gui libboost-all-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libfftw3-dev gfortran python-matplotlib python-scipy python-h5py liblapack-dev python-qt4-gl python-qt4-sql python-vtk 2. I downloaded the Vistrails (Debian package) <http://pkgs.org/debian-wheezy/debian-main-amd64/vistrails_2.0.alpha%7E1-2_a…>and installed it. 3. I downloaded the source package (with boost) and untared it in the directory ~/Downloads. I also created a directory named build in ~/Downloads then cd /build 4. I executed: cmake -D Boost_ROOT_DIR:PATH=~/Downloads/alps-2.0.3-src-with-boost/boost ~/Downloads/alps-2.0.3-src-with-boost/alps 5. I turned ALPS_INSTALL_VISTRAILS_PACKAGES on in the file CMakeCache.txt 6. I excuted: make 7. After make test, there come some errors: 98% tests passed, 2 tests failed out of 99 Total Test time (real) = 16.81 sec The following tests FAILED: 23 - test_vector (Failed) 40 - lattice_constant_test (Failed) Errors while running CTest make: *** [test] Error 8 8. After make install, there are also some errors: CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:54 (FILE): file cannot create directory: /usr/bin/vistrails/packages. Maybe need administrative privileges. 9. Now I still cannot run ALPS on my laptop (dmft-02-hybridization): alpspython tutorial2a.py alpspython: command not found python tutorial2a.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "tutorial2a.py", line 27, in <module> import pyalps ImportError: No module named pyalps dmft hybrid.param No command 'dmft' found, did you mean: Command 'mft' from package 'texlive-binaries' (main) dmft: command not found Cheers, Jin -- *Jin Xu* *Undergraduate Student* *Department of Physics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310027, China* *Email: jin.xu(a)ualberta.ca* *Skype Handle: trivial19891016*

spin-1 with effective magnetic field at edges
by Javad Vahedi 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Dear all ALPS users I am going to run a DMRG simulation on the following one dimensional spin-1 Hamiltonian with open boundary conditions, but with effective magnetic field at both edges : H=-\sum_{j}^{N-1}S^z_{j}S^z_{j}S^z_{j+1} + D\sum_{j}^{N}(S^z_{j})^2 - h\sum_{j}^{N}S^z_{j} -B\sum_{j}^{N}S^x_{j} + h_{eff}(S_1+S_N), Indeed in the absence of the effective magnetic field the procedure is straightforward, but I don't see how to modified the lattice or any other requirements to go further Any help would be appreciated.

S-Squared operator
by Stone, Matthew B. 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Has anyone written an ALPS operator for the operator S^2 for a general number of spins in a system? For example, I would like to list the Sztotal and S^2 values for different energy levels calculated. The S^2 operator can be written as S^2 = (S_1 + S_2 + S_3 +...)^2 where S_1, S_2, etc. are the vector operators. for two spins one can write this as S^2 = (S_1 + S_2)^2 = (S_1)^2 + (S_2)^2 + 2 S_1 \dot S_2 = s(s+1) + s(s+1) + 2S_{1z}S_{2z} + S_{1+}S_{2-} + S_{1-}S_{2+} But I don't see how to generalize this for a system of many spins using the ALPS "spin" sitebasis and basis in order to have this operator value listed in the output calculations. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Matthew B.
