This lattice will be repeated a number of times. The lattice spacing can be given explicitly, or it can be given implicitly by the number density. Parameters ---------- lattice : string Select the kind of lattice. The following options are currently defined in `UNIT_CELL`: * sc : Simple cubic lattice. * sq : Square lattice (2D) with one atom in the unit cell. * sq2 : Square lattice with two atoms in the unit cell. * bcc : Body-centred cubic lattice. * fcc : Face-centred cubic lattice. * hcp : Hexagonal close-packed lattice. * diamond : Diamond structure. lcon : float, optional The lattice constant. density : float, optional The desired density. If this is given, `lcon` is calculated. Note that density will be interpreted as given in internal units. Returns ------- positions : numpy.array The lattice positions. size : list of floats The corresponding size(s), can be used to define a simulation box.
