Visualization of spin dynamincs

I am using spin spiral calculation using vasp_ncl. After convergence, i need to see the optimized magnetic spin structure of my material. Is there any tool to visualise the spin density of my materials using vasp outputs? ex. Data explorer

Dear scanmat_centre,
It is possible to visualize your spin structure and density with py4vasp.
You can find the py4vasp documentation here
ttps://
www.vasp.at/py4vasp/latest/data/magnetism/
To visualize the magnetic structure I would recommend you to use the
plot() Visualize the magnetic moments as arrows inside the structure.
to_viewer3d() Visualize the magnetic moments as arrows inside the structure.
functions. For the visualization of the spin density you can use the
function density.plot("magnetization") in py4vasp.
Alternatively, you can also use VESTA to visualize your data from the CHGCAR file.
For VESTA check this page

I hope this answers your question.
All the best
Jonathan
