Charge density in a certain energy range

#1 Post by jhlee » Sat Nov 24, 2007 11:00 pm

Dear VASP users and developers,

I am trying to calculate (and plot) charge density within a certain energy range around the Fermi level. CHG (or CHGCAR) contains a total charge which is not what I need.

Is there a way to calculate charge density within a given energy range i.e., E_F-0.5 ev < E < E_F?

Thanks,

please have a look at the manual, chapter "Band decomposed chargedensity " for the parameters you have to set, and how to choose appropriate values: LPARD IBAND,EINT, NBMOD KPUSE, LSEPB
