Periodic replication of orbitals from CHGCAR - Is it possible?

Problems running VASP: crashes, internal errors, "wrong" results.

Periodic replication of orbitals from CHGCAR - Is it possible?

#1 Post by olson139 » Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:35 pm

My question is fairly simple, but a cursory look through the forums did not show any solutions.

I have performed a spin-polarized calculation on a "large supercell" as VASP would say using HSE. I have performed a band decomposed charge-density analysis with the converged WAVECAR, and have converted these PARCHARG files to cube files with a script from UT Austin's Henkelman group.

The orbitals look fine, but I would like to "grow" the orbitals as I do when I replicate my system across the lattice vectors. Does anyone know of a program which will read PARCHARG or cube files and perform this action?

Thank you all for time and consideration.

Have you tried VESTA or xcrysden (in combination with the v2xsf conversion tool)? Both work for CHGCAR.

VETSA did the trick, and the results are positively beautiful. Thank you so much!
