It can be useful to inspect which electron-hole pairs or transitions contribute the most to a particular exciton {{cite\|bokdam:scr:2016}}. In VASP it is possible to write the lowest {{TAG\|NBSEEIG}} eigenvectors into the {{FILE\|BSEFATBAND}} file, which can be used for making a fatband structure plot.
