compute_R_chiral_angle

sknano.core.structures.compute_R_chiral_angle(*Ch, degrees=True, **kwargs)[source] [edit on github][source]

Compute “chiral angle” of symmetry vector θR.

θR=tan1(3q2p+q)
Parameters:
  • *Ch

    Either a 2-tuple of ints or 2 integers giving the chiral indices of the nanotube chiral vector Ch=na1+ma2=(n,m).

  • degrees (bool, optional) – If True, return angle in degrees
Returns:

Chiral angle of symmetry vector θR in degrees (default) or radians (if degrees=False).

Return type:

float
