Calculating Inverse Participation Ratio - Reading WAVECAR

#1 Post by padilha_ifusp » Tue May 15, 2007 3:59 am

Dear Friends.
I want to calculate the Inverse Participation Ratio, and this information is in the WAVECAR file, generated by the vasp calculations. But, I don´t know how to read this file, because is a binary one.

Can anyone help me????

(To calculate the IPR I need the wavefunctions or the coefficients of them)

I guess you might only need the magnitude squared of the wavefunction. In this case, you can make use of LPARD(band decomposed charge density in the vasp manual) to grab each wavefunction one by one.
