Plotting pseudopotential potential
« on: January 19, 2017, 06:15 »
I want to plot pseudopotential contribution to the effective potential. The method ExternalPotential returns zero at all grid points. According to the background information it should be the part of external potential.

How do I get this contribution?

The ExternalPotential analysis object only gives you the potentials due to device electrodes and electrostatic gates: http://docs.quantumwise.com/manuals/Types/ExternalPotential/ExternalPotential.html#externalpotential-c. There is currently no way to obtain the potential due to pseudopotentials as an analysis object. However, if you really want "a peak into" the pseudopotential, try the following. It is a developer feature:
Code
pp=NormConservingPseudoPotential("normconserving/sg15/gga/01_H.upf")
pp.load()
pp._plot()
