Plotting non colinear dos in Quantum Espresso

Plotting non colinear dos in Quantum Espresso.

First download the example files with the code below. Then replace data_dir below.

Downloading example

 data_dir = pyprocar.download_example(save_dir='',
                             material='Fe',
                             code='qe',
                             spin_calc_type='non-colinear',
                             calc_type='dos')

importing pyprocar and specifying local data_dir

import os
import pyprocar

data_dir = f"{pyprocar.utils.ROOT}{os.sep}data{os.sep}examples{os.sep}Fe{os.sep}qe{os.sep}non-colinear{os.sep}dos"

Parametric mode

Quantum Espresso expresses the projections in the coupled basis, therefore orbitals takes different meanings. For details on the meaning of the indices of the atomic projection please refer to the user guide :ref:’atomic_projections’

atoms=[0]
spins=[0]
orbitals=[8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]

pyprocar.dosplot(
                code='qe',
                mode='parametric',
                fermi=18.0536,
                atoms=atoms,
                orbitals=orbitals,
                spins=spins,
                dirname=data_dir)

            --------------------------------------------------------
            There are additional plot options that are defined in a configuration file.
            You can change these configurations by passing the keyword argument to the function
            To print a list of plot options set print_plot_opts=True

            Here is a list modes : plain , parametric , parametric_line , stack , stack_orbitals , stack_species
