FileReadDresdenFPLO

The function FileReadDresdenFPLO(path_to_out) reads in the output file of the FPLO calculation. This function only reads information necessary for creating a TB Hamiltonian (using the Wannier orbitals from FPLO wan output) and is used to later generate the tight-binding object. See also tight binding object.

• path_to_out: (string) path to the FPLO output file.

• pointer to the FPLO output generated inside Quanty.

A simple example of an FPLO calculation and downloading down on NiO:

Example.Quanty

print("Reading the FPLO output file")
FPLOOut = FileReadDresdenFPLO("DFT/out.wan")
 
print(FPLOOut)
 
print("Creating the TB object from FPLOOut")
TB = TightBindingDefFromDresdenFPLO(FPLOOut)
 
print("HTB.Name:")
print(HTB.Name)
 
print("\nHTB.Cell:")
print(HTB.Cell)
 
print("\nHTB.Atoms:")
print(HTB.Atoms)
 
print("\nHTB.NAtoms:")
print(HTB.NAtoms)
