How to use the results of unfolding to draw band dispersion

Dear developers,

I used the band unfolding method to calculate the superlattice 4H-SiC(3*3*1).
And I get .unfold_totup and .unfold_orbup and .unfold_plotexample.

I want to draw a line graph like conventional calculations,how should I handle the data in .unfold_totup.


Best regards,
Ye Zhang

Hi,

You can find information of the data format from https://www.openmx-square.org/openmx_man3.9/node168.html .
You can also refer to pp.24-46 of https://t-ozaki.issp.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ISS18/slides-1st/Summer_School_2018_CCLee.pdf .

Dear Naoya Yamaguchi,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have read what you said, but the graph produced using the band unfolding method is a scatter plot.
I used the first and second columns of data in .unfold_totup.

The data in .unfold_totup is not as well organized as the data in .BANDDAT1 obtained from conventional calculations.
If I use the data in .unfold_totup to draw the band structure diagram in the form of a line, it will be a mess.

So how should I handle the data in .unfold_totup.


Best regards,

Dear Ye Zhang,

Although it is not always possible to connect points in the unfolding, you can process data through a spreadsheet or make a Python code to reorganize the three columns of data, for example.

One way is as follows.

1. Store only the points with the large weight (the third column) in the E-k space
2. Give a "band index" to each point manually (this is not simple in most cases.)
3. Extract points with the same band index n in an order such that they form a line
