Plotting wave function For any calculation related to molecule system, center molecule at the origin (0,0,0). Required input: INCAR KPOINT POTCAR CONTCAR WAVECAR input $mv CONTCAR POSCAR Converged WAVECAR from previous run is required. Get NBANDS from PROCAR of previous run. Modify INCAR file: ISTART=1 NBANDS=? LPARD=.TRUE. IBAND= # band number KPUSE= 1 # 1 k-point is needed LSEPB=.TRUE. LSEPK=.TRUE.
Plotting wave function (cont) ISPIN = 1: chden.x < CHGCAR or chden.x < PARCHG.xxx ISPIN = 2: use spinden.x < CHGCAR or spinden.x < PARCHG.xxx Important note: Above method only work for molecule centered at origin. Before plotting any wave-function: Look at partial DOS carefully to identify the energy range. Look at occupation in OUTCAR to identify the band number For ISPIN=2, one needs to decompose up and down spin component. Modify the first line of input file: 1 1 #1:up, -1:down O
cdplot.x input cdplot.x also needs input file [xmin,xmax] define the box surrounding system. cdplot.x can work with any kind of unit cell. Increase nx,ny,nz if a better quality plot is desired. 2 In 4 As #- ix,iy,iz (if <0, turning on interpolation) 3 #- idimplot (3 or 2) #- xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax #- nx,ny,nz
gOpenmol To visualize charge density with gOpenmol: Go to run Pltfile(conversion) Open the gopen.txt file in input file name box Type in the output file name, in output file name box, for example: test.plt Choose Formatted Unformatted Click Apply Proceed to plotting step above
