it does not exist and changes the planewave cutoff energy to
300eV

we read everything directly from the ncfile to prevent
triggering any calculations

- comparison of atoms to self.atoms using tolerances to account
for float/double differences and float math.
- attach_child(self, child)

you have to be a little careful with code in here. Use the
calculation_required function to tell if a calculation is
required. It is assumed here that if you call this, you mean
it.

dimensions and variables in a netcdffile
this functionality is not implemented for some reason in
netcdf, so the only way to do this is to copy all the

the ones you want to delete and then rename the new file.
if you delete a dimension, all variables with that dimension
are also deleted.

from the same python process, since the python PID is used as
identifier for the script[PID].py file.

4*Density_WaveCutoff will be used to describe the total
density (including augmentation charge and partial core
density). If Density_WaveCutoff is equal to PlaneWaveCutoff
this implies that the total density is as soft as the
wavefunctions described by the kinetic energy cutoff
PlaneWaveCutoff. If a value of Density_WaveCutoff is specified
(must be larger than or equal to PlaneWaveCutoff) the program
will run using two grids, one for representing the
wavefunction density (softgrid_dim) and one representing the
total density (hardgrid_dim). If the density can be
reprensented on the same grid as the wavefunction density
Density_WaveCutoff can be chosen equal to PlaneWaveCutoff
(default).

(1,1,1,1.0) specifies (atom 1, l=1, m=1, weight=1.0) a p orbital
with m = +1 on atom 0
l=0 s-orbital
l=1 p-orbital
l=2 d-orbital
m in range of ( -l ... 0 ... +l )
The direction cosines for which the spherical harmonics are
set up are using the next different atom in the list
(cyclic) as direction pointer, so the z-direction is chosen
along the direction to this next atom. At the moment the
rotation matrices is only given in the text file, you can
use grep'MUL: Rmatrix' out_o2.txt to get this information.

- set_nbands(self, nbands=None)
- Set the number of bands. a few unoccupied bands are
recommended.
:Parameters:
nbands : integer
the number of bands.
if nbands = None the function returns with nothing done. At
calculate time, if there are still no bands, they will be set
by:
the number of bands is calculated as
$nbands=nvalence*0.65 + 4$
- set_nc(self, nc='out.nc')
- set filename for the netcdf and text output for this calculation
:Parameters:
nc : string
filename for netcdf file
if the ncfile attached to the calculator is changing, the old
file will be copied to the new file if it doesn not exist so
that all the calculator details are preserved. Otherwise, the
if the ncfile does not exist, it will get initialized.
the text file will have the same basename as the ncfile, but
with a .txt extension.
- set_ncoutput(self, wf=None, cd=None, efp=None, esp=None)
- set the output of large variables in the netcdf output file
:Parameters:
wf : string
controls output of wavefunction. values can
be 'Yes' or 'No'
cd : string
controls output of charge density. values can
be 'Yes' or 'No'
efp : string
controls output of effective potential. values can
be 'Yes' or 'No'
esp : string
controls output of electrostatic potential. values can
be 'Yes' or 'No'
- set_occupationstatistics(self, method)
- set the method used for smearing the occupations.
:Parameters:
method : string
one of 'FermiDirac' or 'MethfesselPaxton'
Currently, the Methfessel-Paxton scheme (PRB 40, 3616 (1989).)
is implemented to 1th order (which is recommemded by most authors).
'FermiDirac' is the default
- set_parent(self, parent)
- set_pseudopotentials(self, pspdict)
- Set all the pseudopotentials from a dictionary.
The dictionary should have this form::
{symbol1: path1,
symbol2: path2}
- set_psp(self, sym=None, z=None, psp=None)
- set the pseudopotential file for a species or an atomic number.
:Parameters:
sym : string
chemical symbol of the species
z : integer
the atomic number of the species
psp : string
filename of the pseudopotential
you can only set sym or z.
examples::
set_psp('N',psp='pspfile')
set_psp(z=6,psp='pspfile')
- set_psp_database(self, xc=None)
- get the xc-dependent psp database
:Parameters:
xc : string
one of 'PW91', 'PBE', 'revPBE', 'RPBE', 'PZ'
not all the databases are complete, and that means
some psp do not exist.
note: this function is not supported fully. only pw91 is
imported now. Changing the xc at this point results in loading
a nearly empty database, and I have not thought about how to
resolve that
- set_pw(self, pw)
- set the planewave cutoff.
:Parameters:
pw : integer
the planewave cutoff in eV
this function checks to make sure the density wave cutoff is
greater than or equal to the planewave cutoff.
- set_spinpol(self, spinpol=False)
- set Spin polarization.
:Parameters:
spinpol : Boolean
set_spinpol(True) spin-polarized.
set_spinpol(False) no spin polarization, default
Specify whether to perform a spin polarized or unpolarized
calculation.
- set_status(self, status)
- set the status flag in the netcdf file
:Parameters:
status : string
status flag, e.g. 'new', 'finished'
- set_stay_alive(self, value)
- set the stay alive setting
- set_symmetry(self, val=False)
- set how symmetry is used to reduce k-points
:Parameters:
val : Boolean
set_sym(True) Maximum symmetry is used
set_sym(False) No symmetry is used
This variable controls the if and how DACAPO should attempt
using symmetry in the calculation. Imposing symmetry generally
speeds up the calculation and reduces numerical noise to some
extent. Symmetry should always be applied to the maximum
extent, when ions are not moved. When relaxing ions, however,
the symmetry of the equilibrium state may be lower than the
initial state. Such an equilibrium state with lower symmetry
is missed, if symmetry is imposed. Molecular dynamics-like
algorithms for ionic propagation will generally not break the
symmetry of the initial state, but some algorithms, like the
BFGS may break the symmetry of the initial state. Recognized
options:
"Off": No symmetry will be imposed, apart from time inversion
symmetry in recipical space. This is utilized to reduce the
k-point sampling set for Brillouin zone integration and has no
influence on the ionic forces/motion.
"Maximum": DACAPO will look for symmetry in the supplied
atomic structure and extract the highest possible symmetry
group. During the calculation, DACAPO will impose the found
spatial symmetry on ionic forces and electronic structure,
i.e. the symmetry will be conserved during the calculation.
- set_xc(self, xc)
- Set the self-consistent exchange-correlation functional
:Parameters:
xc : string
Must be one of 'PZ', 'VWN', 'PW91', 'PBE', 'revPBE', 'RPBE'
Selects which density functional to use for
exchange-correlation when performing electronic minimization
(the electronic energy is minimized with respect to this
selected functional) Notice that the electronic energy is also
evaluated non-selfconsistently by DACAPO for other
exchange-correlation functionals Recognized options :
* "PZ" (Perdew Zunger LDA-parametrization)
* "VWN" (Vosko Wilk Nusair LDA-parametrization)
* "PW91" (Perdew Wang 91 GGA-parametrization)
* "PBE" (Perdew Burke Ernzerhof GGA-parametrization)
* "revPBE" (revised PBE/1 GGA-parametrization)
* "RPBE" (revised PBE/2 GGA-parametrization)
option "PZ" is not allowed for spin polarized
calculation; use "VWN" instead.
- strip(self)
- remove all large memory nc variables not needed for
anything I use very often.
- update_input_parameters(self)
- read in all the input parameters from the netcdfile
- write(self, new=False)
- write out everything to the ncfile : get_nc()
new determines whether to delete any existing ncfile, and rewrite it.
- write_input(self)
- write out input parameters as needed
you must define a self._set_keyword function that does all the
actual writing.
- write_nc(self, nc=None, atoms=None)
- write out atoms to a netcdffile.
This does not write out the calculation parameters!
:Parameters:
nc : string
ncfilename to write to. this file will get clobbered
if it already exists.
atoms : ASE.Atoms
atoms to write. if None use the attached atoms
if no atoms are attached only the calculator is
written out.
the ncfile is always opened in 'a' mode.
note: it is good practice to use the atoms argument to make
sure that the geometry you mean gets written! Otherwise, the
atoms in the calculator is used, which may be different than
the external copy of the atoms.
Static methods defined here:
- read_atoms(filename)
- read atoms and calculator from an existing netcdf file.
:Parameters:
filename : string
name of file to read from.
static method
example::
>>> atoms = Jacapo.read_atoms(ncfile)
>>> calc = atoms.get_calculator()
this method is here for legacy purposes. I used to use it alot.
