Usage

XDATCAR2.py

It requires that INCAR, POSCAR, and XDATCAR files exist in the working directory.

$ python XDATCAR2.py -s POSCAR

will create POSCAR???? files of atom positions written in XDATCAR. Cell vectors are taken from POSCAR and kept constant for every POSCAR???? files.

Etot-vs-size.py

This will calculate several different size of cells and show a graph of cohesive energy versus cell volume.

$ python Etot-vs-size.py 5.3 5.5

The arguments are the min and max of lattice constant written at the 2nd line of POSCAR.

Options:

  • -n: Number of points between min and max to be calculated.
  • --no-graph: Do not show graph using matplotlib. In case of slow connection to a remote host...
