Plotting fermi3d spin-polarized#

Symmetry does not currently work! Make sure for fermi surface calculations turn off symmetry

Plotting fermi3d spin-polarized example.

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='vasp',

# You do not need this. This is to ensure an image is rendered off screen when generating exmaple gallery.

importing pyprocar and specifying local data_dir

data_dir = f"{pyprocar.utils.ROOT}{os.sep}data{os.sep}examples{os.sep}Fe{os.sep}vasp{os.sep}spin-polarized-colinear{os.sep}fermi"



# First create the FermiHandler object, this loads the data into memory. Then you can call class methods to plot
# Symmetry only works for specfic space groups currently.
# For the actual calculations turn off symmetry and set 'apply_symmetry'=False
