....blocks of dates in CHGCAR and PARCHG files....

#1 Post by brocks » Fri Nov 03, 2006 4:48 pm

Hi Forum,

i did some LSDA self-consistent calculations (ISPIN=2) to determine the CHGCAR file.
Then i got the PARCHG file from the preconverged WAVECAR file following the manual.
The CHGCAR has (after the lines of Ngx,Ngy, Ngz) two main blocks of numbers:

the first one is (charge_up+charge_down)
the second one is (charge_up-charge_down)

Do you agree with this?

The PARCHG also has two main blocks of numbers:

the first one is (par_charge_up+par_charge_down)
the second one is (par_charge_up-par_charge_down)

Do you agree with this?

Thank you.

yes, the files are structured in the same way:
1) charge densities (up+down)
2) spin densities (up-down)
