Wave function projections

#1 Post by jmullen » Wed Oct 05, 2016 5:34 pm

Hello all,

Is there a post processing function in VASP that will allow me to project the wave functions of one system onto the wave functions of another system in the form of <phi|psi>?

Cheers

No such post processing code in the group of vasp developers.
Perhaps some users can help?

Thanks for your reply. I am currently working to read the format for the WAVECAR file so that I can write my own projection code. I assume that the WAVECAR file is the only place that the wave functions are written. Is this correct ?

Yes, the wave function is only in WAVECAR.
How to read WAVECAR is in forum discussed many times.

I wrote a module that reads in a wavecar file and allows one to manipulate it in various ways. Maybe this would be useful to you to get started?
