Plotting wave function v For any calculation related to molecule system, center molecule at

Plotting wave function v For any calculation related to molecule system, center molecule at the origin (0, 0, 0). v 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= 114 115 116 KPUSE= 1 LSEPB=. TRUE. LSEPK=. TRUE. # band number # 1 k-point is needed

Plotting wave function (cont) v ISPIN = 1: § chden. x < CHGCAR or chden. x < PARCHG. xxx v ISPIN = 2: § use spinden. x < CHGCAR or spinden. x < PARCHG. xxx v 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 O 2 111 #1: up, -1: down
