d-band center from VASP DOSCAR
« on: September 26, 2017, 21:01 »
Dear All,

Is it possible to calculate the d-band center proposed by Norskov et al (Hammer, Norskov, Adv. Catal 45, 71, 2000) of a surface slab calculation using vasp GUI, VNL from Quantumwise.

Thanks,
mmg016

Dear mmg016,

this option is not directly available. However, you can still extract do it with scripting! You can extract the DOS projected on the d-shell, and with some python scripting you can determine the center of the d-band according to the definition of Hammer and Norskov.

Regards,
Daniele.
