PotentialsΒΆ

This example shows how to plot the potentials stored in netcdf files. Use the input variables prtpot, prtvha, prtvhxc, prtvxc with iomode 3 to produce these files at the end of the SCF-GS run.

  • $V_{hartree}(r)$
  • $V_{xc}(r)$
  • $V_{hxc}(r)$
  • $V_{loc}(r)$
from abipy.abilab import abiopen

# VKS = Hartree + XC potential + sum of local part of pseudos.

foo = vhxc - vh - vxc
#foo.plot_line(point1=[0, 0, 0], point2=[0, 4, 0], num=400, title="$V_{hxc - h - xc}(r)$")

# To plot the wavefunction along the lines connect the firt atom in the structure
# and all the neighbors within a sphere of radius 3 Angstrom:
#vxc.plot_line_neighbors(site_index=0, radius=3)
