How to obtained orbital resolved charge density

#1 Post by alok_shukla1 » Wed Jul 27, 2022 5:32 pm

Dear Experts,
I would like to know is there any way to obtained the orbital resolved charge density.
I need for C 2p orbital only. IN CHGCAR data is in the form of FFT grid.
Please suggest.

You are probably looking for this:
wiki/index.php/Band_decomposed_charge_densities

Let me know if something is not clear in the documentation

Dear Expert,
After reading from vaspwiki (www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/Band_decompo ... _densities), I understood how to get the data of band decomposed charge density (i.e., for valence and conduction bands).
But my query is slightly different. I am interested in getting the charge density for one particular orbital. For more clearance of my question, I am attaching one figure here.
I'll very thankfull for your suggestion.

Ok, that is a bit more difficult.
VASP does not write this information to any file currently.

Dear Expert,
These calculations have been performed using VASP in the paper entitled "Origin and Enhancement of Hole-Induced Ferromagnetism in First-Row d0 Semiconductors".
Thanks.
