Hi,
So basically option c) of my previous email is what you want.

Just to make clear:
Thank you for your detailed reply. By wavefunctions, I mean exactly the eigenvectors. Though the coefficients are written in vector files or case.out by putting WFPR1 in case.in1, the basis set is formed by the APW-basis function. Specific to our problem, we want to calculate the eigenvectors in the basis of local orbitals (e.g xy,x2-y2,z2,px,py...) as given in the inst file. We understand that it is there in some way as the orbital projected band structure and DOS cannot be calculated otherwise. Is there any way to find out these eigenvectors.?

No, you don't want the eigenvectors.
You want the wave function inside the spheres (remember, these "local orbitals" - better name would be the projection onto spherical harmonics - are only defined inside the atomic spheres). They are obtained by multiplication of the eigenvectors c_i with the basis functions.

Specifically, inside spheres:

psi(r)^(atomic sphere) = sum(lm){ [A_lm u_l(r) + B_lm u-dot(r) + C_lm u2(r) ] Y_lm }

The "ALM" option writes these A_lm, B_lm, C_lm and the corresponding radial functions (u, ..) to a file.

Remember, depending on the character of a certain state, the psi^(atomic sphere) could sometimes be only a small fraction of the total psi.


Best Regards,
Amit Chauhan

    Well, I'm not sure what you mean by wave functions and what you want to
    do with them.

    a) The vectorfiles, contain the "eigenvectors", i.e. the
    coefficients in
    front of the APW-basis functions. Of course, one needs those
    coefficients to calculate psi(r), but this is not straightforward in
    your own program.
    If you want the coefficients in "readable" form, put WFPRI into
    case.in1
    and you will find them in case.output1 (can be huge !)

    b) the program lapw7  can calculate wavefunctions psi(r) on a grid in a
    plane through the crystal. However, also here you have to decide on
    real/imaginary/modulus of psi, which is in general a complex function.

    c) In lapw2 with the switch ALM you can write radial functions and
    A_lm,
    B_lm,.. to a file. This could be used in an external program to get
    psi(r) (inside spheres) and using the coefficients * e^(ikr) you can
    get
    in in the interstital.
