Plotting fermi3d spin_texture

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

Plotting fermi3d spin_texture 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',
                             spin_calc_type='non-colinear',
                             calc_type='fermi')

# sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_number = 1

import pyvista

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

importing pyprocar and specifying local data_dir

import os

import pyprocar

data_dir = os.path.join(
    pyprocar.utils.DATA_DIR, "examples", "Fe", "vasp", "non-colinear", "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
fermiHandler = pyprocar.FermiHandler(code="vasp", dirname=data_dir, apply_symmetry=True)

WARNING : Fermi Energy not set! Set `fermi={value}`. By default, using fermi energy found in given directory.

Spin Texture mode

fermiHandler.plot_fermi_surface(
    mode="spin_texture",
    spin_texture=True,
    supercell=[2, 2, 2],
    texture_size=0.2,
    show=True,
    max_distance=0.3,  # This parameter controls the max distance to search for adjacent points for interpolation.
    # Lowering could speed the ploting, but too low could make the interpolation fail
)

                --------------------------------------------------------
                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 , spin_texture , overlay
                Here is a list of properties: fermi_speed , fermi_velocity , harmonic_effective_mass
