Plotting rashba spin splitting#
Plotting rashba spin splitting example. From our first paper we had an example to plot the different spin texture projections of BiSb at a constant energy surface 0.60eV above the fermei level and -0.90ev below the fermi level.
First download the example files with the code below. Then replace data_dir below.
Downloading example#
data_dir = pyprocar.download_example(save_dir='',
material='BiSb_monolayer',
code='vasp',
spin_calc_type='non-colinear',
calc_type='fermi')
importing pyprocar and specifying local data_dir
import os
import pyprocar
data_dir = os.path.join(
pyprocar.utils.DATA_DIR,
"examples",
"BiSb_monolayer",
"vasp",
"non-colinear",
"fermi",
)
energy = 0.60 sx projection no arrows#
pyprocar.fermi2D(
code="vasp",
dirname=data_dir,
energy=0.60,
fermi=-1.1904,
spin_texture=True,
no_arrow=True,
spin_projection="x",
