- | ====== Band structure plot ====== | ||
- | In previous section we optimized the lattice parameter of graphene. In this section we show how to generate the band structure at given high-symmetry directions. We follow the same procedure as in the previous case of the Silicon bulk: | ||
- | |||
- | === Procedure === | ||
- | |||
- | - obtain the SCF charges | ||
- | - generate a set of special high symmetry k-points | ||
- | - get eigenvalue spectra with fixed SCF charges & the set of high symmetry k-points | ||
- | - plot eigenvalue vs. k-points | ||
- | |||
- | | ||
- | To plot the band structure we generated a set of the special k-points heading from K(1/√3,1/3) point to Γ(0,0) ending at M(0,2/3) stored in file C1.kgm.kpts. | ||

- | ====== Real space electron denisty ====== | ||
- | |||
- | Another way to analyze the electronic structure of material is a plot of electron density in real space. This kind of analysis can be compared, with certain caution, with STM images. To obtain this image we have to proceed following steps: | ||
- | |||
- | - obtain the SCF charges | ||
- | - plot wavefunction in real-space |
