Re: K-resolved projection of the eigenstates

Dear Eric,

Thank you very much for your response.
It is very good to know that such a useful feature is being developed.

Best regards, Mikhail

K-resolved projection of the eigenstates

Dear experts and users,

For a given k-point I would like to project electronic eigenstates onto atomic orbitals (like PDOS does).
Can I do that in ABINIT somehow?
I am aware that it can be done in Wannier90, but for such a simple task I would like not to use different codes.

Best regards, Mikhail

Re: Failing to relax a 2D structure

Thank you all for your help.
I translated my vectors to angstroms manually, and switched to reduced atomic coordinates.
That fixed the problem.

Failing to relax a 2D structure

Dear experts and users, I've been trying to relax a 2D Ga structure with no success. Could you please indicate what might be wrong? The structure has been successfully calculated by me or my colleagues in other DFT packages (QE, VASP). Thus, I started off with an almost relaxed structure, and I expe...

How is the Fermi level defined in ABINIT

Dear experts, Could you please tell me how the Fermi level is defined in ABINIT? I have noticed that very often when I do non-scf calculations on refined k-grids and then check the integrated DOS I get different values for the Fermi energy. I mean that when I check the integrated DOS and look for th...

Problems with convergence of wide ribbons

Hello, I have been calculating decorated graphene ribbons of different width. Until some certain width the relaxation process goes smooth but after I hit this limit the behaviour of the scf cycles becomes really erratic.
