I wonder if I could plot the Fig1.(a) in Physical Review A 87, 063421 (2013), a triangular lattice in MMA. I undetstand that those atoms and interactions can be added by Adobe AI after obtaining the eps by MMA.

Actually I've tried by defining a piecewise function and Plot3D, but it seems to be wierd and the figure is uncontinuous at the boundaries.

Thanks a lot. enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ What have you tried? Please share the code. What is the formula for the potential? Not providing necessary information won't help you here. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The point is that I gave the reference clearly enough, and I would be able to plot if I know the potential. Thanks anyway. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ In this article there is nothing about the potential. They write under the FIG.1: "Schematic diagram of the smallest triangular cell of three atoms (a, b and c) trapped in a two-dimensional triangular lattice". $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I tried the Cos type, and now I now it's an exponential trap. Thanks for the nice answer. $\endgroup$
