[docs]def berry_curvature(eigfs):
"""Computes the discretized Berry curvature on the two dimensional grid
of parameters. The function works well for cases with no band mixing.
Parameters
==========
eigfs : numpy ndarray
4 dimensional numpy ndarray where the first two indices are for the two
discrete values of the two parameters and the third is the index of the
occupied bands. The fourth dimension holds the eigenfunctions.
Returns
-------
b_curv : numpy ndarray
A two dimensional array of the discretized Berry curvature defined for
the values of the two parameters defined in the eigfs.
