In the previous commit the calculation of 'nelect' was implemented
incorrectly. The sum over k-points must also contain k-weights
and a spin factor (2.0 for ns = 1).
The calculation of 'nelect' is now implemented as a separate method
of ProjectorGroup.
Output of PLO groups into a text file is added to 'plo_output()'.
The file format is provisional and can change in future versions.
Also, an attribute 'nelect' providing the number of electrons in
the selected energy window is added to ProjectorGroup.
The documentation has been slightly rewritten and extended to follow
the recent changes. The modifications include:
- ProjectorSet class is now replaced by ProjectorShell
- the workflow has been refined
- the electronic structure part is represented by class ElectronicStructure
A method 'density_matrix()' for evaluating a density matrix of a given shell
has been added to class ProjectorShell. It requires an ElectronicStructure
object as an input an by default produces a site- and spin-diagonal
part of the density matrix using the Fermi-weights obtained directly from VASP.
Ideally, this density matrix should coincide with the one calculated
within VASP itself (inside the LDA+U module).
Corresponding sanity test has been added, which shows only that the
calculation does not crash. Real numerical tests are needed.
Class ElectronicStructure is intended for the internal representation
of the band structure and raw projector data from VASP.
In addition, its purpose is to perform a simple consistency check
of the input VASP data (as they are read from different files).
When a ProjectorShell is created it creates a view of the full
projector array with orbital 'ilm' and band 'ib' indices interchanged.
The reason for this is that this corresponds more naturally to the
definition of the projector P_{m\nu} and also allows for multiplications
of projector matrices without additional transposition.
The tests have been modified accordingly.
A preliminary test suite for class 'ProjectorGroup' was added.
Currently, only a simplest test is performed testing that
after the input is processed the resulting projectors selected
within a given energy window are corret.
The problem was that when one shell was specified without an explicit
group the created automatic group was lacking the default values for
parameters 'normalize' and 'normion'. The current design, however,
assumes that they must always be set.
A single-file test suite for 'inpconf.py' is split into several files,
each containing a separate TestCase class. In addition, all test cases
are derived from class ArrayTestCase (in turn derived from TestCase)
which contains a numpy-array equality method.
I also described how one can read a self energy form a data
file. However, this needs to be tested and also included
in the reference manual. Maybe the function should move
back into sumk_dft_tools!?
