Projected Local Density of States

[395235863]

Dear QW team,
  I calculate the Projected Local Density of States.But I cannot export the data of PLDOS?Can you help me ? Thank you!

[Jess Wellendorff]

You should be able to export the PLDOS using the "Export" tool: Simply highlight the PLDOS object on the LabFloor and click the Export tool in the right-hand side of the VNL main window.

This is a known bug which will be fixed, sorry about that. You can always export the value by using a script, as in the attached example (stolen from the source code, but fixed for the bug). You add the filename of your NC file at the end, then run on the command line as

Code

atkpython nlprint_pldos.py > outputfile.txt

I follow your way.An error occurs.

Sorry, I forgot one line of code.

Note, that there is a difference if your PLDOS is made from the device density of states, or the "LDOS", and this is where the unit confusion comes from. So, the attached code will work if the PLDOS comes from the device DOS; the built-in code will work if it's made from LDOS.

OK.I understand it completely.Thank you very much!
