Dear Quantum ESPRESSO Community,
I am currently working on understanding molecular orbital (MO) plots for
two-center and poly-center molecular complexes, particularly in the
context of computing magnetic exchange coupling.
To test this, I started with a well-known Cu2Cl6 molecule. I performed:
(i) SCF calculation in the antiferromagnetic state (with starting
magnetizations of Cu1 = +0.5 and Cu2 = -0.5); (ii) NSCF calculation; and
(iii) For post-processing, I used pp.x to visualize molecular orbitals.
However, I encountered an unexpected issue, in the PP output file and
its cube file: all Cl atoms are being replaced by Cu atoms when
visualizing the geometry.
I am unsure why this is happening and would appreciate any insights on:
(i) Why the atomic replacements occur in the output?
(ii) How to correctly preserve the identity of the two Cu atoms while
ensuring they remain distinguishable with different starting
magnetizations?
I am attaching SCF, NSCF, and pp.x input files, along with the cube file
for the particular band and the input and output geometry images for
reference.
Any guidance on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Prem
