I attach a custom analyzer for calculating the band gap of a band structure

Drop the script bandstructure_analyzer.py on the custom analyzer tool

You can generate some data with the file graphene.py

drop the file graphene.nc in the drop zone and get the attached plot,

Have fun,
 ;D

NOTE: The version of the script attached to this post works for ATK 10.8. For ATK 11.2, see post below.

i tried the same way to get Bandgap but i got error like this

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\zipdir\NL\GUI\Core\Runner.py", line 230, in run
  File ".\zipdir\NL\NanoLanguage\Builder.py", line 47, in dummyConfigurationGenerator
NL.ComputerScienceUtilities.Exceptions.NLError: No configurationGenerator defined. Use the method 'setConfigurationGenerator()'
to set a configurationGenerator

Hi Abe,
You must drop the script on the "Analyzer" icon.
According to your error message, you dropped the script on the "Custom" icon ;)

Thanks for your reply sir,
                              I got the bandgap value in the bottom of the window.but i didnt get the graph.


Analyzing bandstructure number  0 NL.ComputerScienceUtilities.NLFlag.Up
Valence band maximum    -0.0705 eV at [0.0000, 0.0000,0.0000]   
Conduction band minimum  0.0705 eV at [0.0000, 0.0000,0.0000]   
Band gap                 0.1411 eV

Direct Band gap          0.1411 eV at [0.0000, 0.0000,0.0000]

This is because you only have one point on the bandstructure in the netcdf file, thus there is only one point on your graph and this cannot be displayed.

This custom analyzer needs a small update for ATK 11.2.

If you are using ATK 11.2, then you need the updated version of the script which you can download from the post just before yours ;)

This script should be dropped on the Analyzer, not Custom Builder.
