Band Unfolding for Quantum-Espresso code
Opened this issue · 6 comments
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to inquire about the usage of the PyProcar tool for unfolding band structures in conjunction with the Quantum Espresso code.
Additionally, I am interested in knowing whether it is possible to generate plots of orbital band projections after obtaining the unfolded band structure.
Best regards,
Amir
Hello Amir,
at the current moment, it is not working for qe. I just did an example of MgB2 in a supercell, the bands are what I expected (This is in comparison to VASP) but the unfolding is not. I am going to try to get in contact with on of the QE developers to see if we can find a solution for this. I'll keep you updated on the status of this.
And yes you can generate plots of orbital band projections after obtaining the unfolded band structure. There was a small bug in the code, I am going to update it today.
pyprocar.unfold(
code='vasp',
mode='parametric',
unfold_mode='both',
dirname= data_dir,
orbitals=[1,2,3],
elimit=[-15,5],
supercell_matrix=np.diag([2, 2, 2]))

Hello,
Thank you very much for your response!
But there is an error:

Could you please tell me how can I solve this error?
Thanks,

Yes. When I add LORBIT=12, I have:

Dear Logan Lang,
Could you please tell me, could you solve the problem?

Hello Amir,
For the unfolding in QE, we are still trying to diagnose the issue. It has to do with how QE uses different a different basis than in vasp.
As for the above issue with vasp, the issue is coming from line 1110 ( int(self.bandsCount / 2)) and 1117 ( int(self.bandsCount / 2)). There should be no division by 2. I have changed this in the main branch GitHub. I have not updated pypi with this change, I want to finish other work before updating pypi.
