Information on the plane waves

#1 Post by janbor » Fri Oct 05, 2007 9:11 am

Is there a way I can access information on the plane waves that constitute
the full wave function? I find that the WAVECAR file has the weight of each,
but I can not seem to find the G-vector describing each of the plane waves.

In the source it is the array NPLWKP(K) that holds the number of plane waves,
but which array holds the G-vector for each plane wave?

I found it - it is in WDES%IGX(:,:) (X=X,Y,Z). From what I can tell
it is not stored anywhere on file, but I'll make do.

the PWs are nowhere explicitely written by vasp, you are right, you have to insert the write statement if you need that information
