Print results of deformation potential

[Ting]

Dear All,

I calculated the deformation potential in graphene following the example at http://www.quantumwise.com/documents/manuals/ATK-2015.beta/ReferenceManual/XHTML/ref.deformationpotential.html,   and used nlprint(stream) to print a string containing an ASCII table with deformation potential data of deformation_potential_2 in the example code.

Attached is the results I got. The scaled (|g|) and unscaled (|M|) copuling matrices are listed, but no information about deformation potential, which is the one I need. How can I print the results of deformation potential? Could you please help me? Thank you very much.

In the tutorial, look for the description of how to use the "Deformation Potential Analyzer" plugin.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. This is a very nice and helpful tutorial. Just what I need.

The deformation potential analyzer is very useful when specifying only one k-point for the initial state. What if I set "kpoint_fractional=MonkhorstPackGrid(5,5,5,force_timereversal=False).kpoints()"? Can I extract the information of deformation potential(D(0) and D(1)) for all the 125 k points at once? Thank you very much.

[Jess Wellendorff]

No, you can't. Only a list of coordinates for a single k-point for the initial state is accepted, e.g. [1/3, 1/3, 0]. But you of course do a simple loop over all k-points of your interest. That wouls be a simple Python scripting solution to that task.

OK, I see. Thank you very much for your time.
