ABINIT Discussion Forums

Dear All,

I need your advise regarding plotting the Band Structure in ABINIT. I have made the .dbs file using AbinitBandStructureMaker.py script file.Next, for viewing it i used the gnuplot method but unfortunately since because the .dbs file is not properly read by gnuplot software i didn't get the required plot.

In brief Please advise which further script will help to view this .dbs file,or via any other software.
I have enclosed the .dbs file (extension removed for easy upload) with this post.
I will be glad for any advice,
Regards,
M.Mukul

You need to run AbinitBandStructureMaker again with your dbs as input. It will generate a .agr file that you can read using xmgrace.

1) run" python AbinitBandStructureMaker.py t35.out "
2) set up valence band numbers in "t35.out.dbs" files(it generally generate much band number than valence bands. so you should valence band numbers set up for your materials valence band numbers)
3) run "python AbinitBandStructureMaker.py t35.out.dbs".
4) finish.
