esta.phonon.atm_displacements module#

esta.phonon.atm_displacements.gen_disp(posfile, qe_part_file)#
generate set of displacement of atoms in +ve and - directions by delta_x = 0.04 Ang

(this parameter may be varied according to need and physical requirements )

input:

poscar file; string

output:
set of files named:

positions_01_0 and like that fist integer is atom index; –> 0, 1, 2 … N-1 (N=no of atoms) second intege is positon index; i.e. x , y, and z –> 0,1,2 last integer is for -ve and +disp –> 0,1 [0/1] at the end means displacement along +ve and -ve directions respectively

esta.phonon.atm_displacements_selective module#

esta.phonon.atm_displacements_selective.gen_disp(posfile, qe_part_file, disp_value=None)#
generate set of displacement of atoms in +ve and - directions by delta_x = 0.04 Ang

(this parameter may be varied according to need and physical requirements )

input:

poscar file; string qe_part_file: part of qe part witout atomic postions part (ATOMIC_POSITIONS (angstrom) tag present) disp_value: scalar for atm displacement in Ang.

output:
set of files named:

positions_01_0 and like that fist integer is atom index; –> 0, 1, 2 … N-1 (N=no of atoms) second intege is positon index; i.e. x , y, and z –> 0,1,2 last integer is for -ve and +disp –> 0,1 [0/1] at the end means displacement along +ve and -ve directions respectively

NOTE: both atomic position outputs: qe and poscar are implemented

esta.phonon.atm_displacements_selective_general_disp module#

esta.phonon.atm_displacements_selective_general_disp.gen_disp(posfile, qe_part_file, val_displacement)#

generate set of displacement of atoms in +ve and - directions by val_displacement (e.g. earlier it was delta_x = 0.04 Ang; this parameter may be varied according to need and physical requirements )

input:

poscar file; string

output:
set of files named:

positions_01_0 and like that fist integer is atom index; –> 0, 1, 2 … N-1 (N=no of atoms) second intege is positon index; i.e. x , y, and z –> 0,1,2 last integer is for -ve and +disp –> 0,1 [0/1] at the end means displacement along +ve and -ve directions respectively

NOTE: both atomic position outputs: qe and poscar are implemented NOTE: Generally val_displacement should be 0.04 ang for bulk materials

for surface or surface species involved during chemical reactions, it to be 0.02 angstrom.
