Hello Jess,

indeed. I just tried a scf and subsequent bands calculation with spin-orbit. VNL can plot the bands with the band structure analyzer, but is unable to project the charge density. I guess this has to do with spin-up spin-down differences in a spin-polarized file. But i'am simply not sure.

However, thanks a lot for the reply.

Best regards

Dear VNL Users,

I'm using VNL to plot band structures from Quantum Espresso calculations of perovskite like compounds, and in principle it works well. However, when i include spin-orbit coupling (lspinorb + noncolin) in the same calculations, VNL gives an error message "IOError: No such file or Directory: ..../spin-polarization.dat". I understand that it searches the obviously non-existent file spin-polarization.dat, but i do not know how to produce it or if it is really necessary. Maybe i'm too clueless about spin-polarized calculations.....

I would be very glad about any guidance.

Best regards
Markus
