Thanks Duy Le for the suggestion. Sometimes one does not see the wood for the 
trees...

Which leaves only one question:


Am I right, that for the SOC case the second component is missing if I use the 
output in octave format?

I doubt that you will be able to get anything meaningful with <psi_a|psi_b>, as 
difference in the random phases of the two wavefunctions is not possible to be 
eliminated. How about |<psi_a|psi_b>|^2?

OK, at least the different sizes were probably a problem on my side - I was 
using the dev version of wfck2r with the rest in an older version. Using only 
the dev version I have the binary file being approximately 2.7 times bigger 
which can be explained - I guess - with the missing second component. But I'm 
still not sure whether I can simply integrate <psi_a|psi_b> and expect 
something useful if both wave functions are from different calculations...

Betreff: [QE-users] wfck2r.x


Dear all,


I want to calculate wave function overlaps in order to extract some parameters 
for a collaborator.

Since I want the overlap in a heterostructure of 2 monolayers for the wave 
functions of the single layers (i.e., I need 3 calculations), the easiest 
solution would be to look at the changes in the projection on the atomic states 
using projwfc. Yet, this local basis is not complete and I would like to know 
how "much" is missing.


I found the wfck2r.f90 code. Yet, I think there are several problems with using 
this and maybe someone can comment. I think I once read that one cannot easily 
compare the wave functions between different calculation because of an 
arbitrary phase shift. Is this correct? Because if I can't do this, then I 
don't even need to consider using the code. If I can do it, then am I right, 
that the wfck2r code does not include the SOC case for output in octave format? 
Because in line 248, only pol=1 is used... Another problem I noticed is a huge 
difference in sizes of the octave output and the binary output. The octave 
output was in my test case about 68 MB while the binary file was 6 GB.


Kind regards


Thomas
