Bases: object

Class to read in bandOverlaps.lobster files. These files are not created during every Lobster run. .. attribute: bandoverlapsdict is a dict of the following form:

Parameters

filename – filename of the “bandOverlaps.lobster” file

has_good_quality_check_occupied_bands(number_occ_bands_spin_up: int, number_occ_bands_spin_down: Optional[int] = None, spin_polarized: bool = False, limit_deviation: float = 0.1) → bool

will check if the deviation from the ideal bandoverlap of all occupied bands is smaller or equal to limit_deviation

Args: number_occ_bands_spin_up (int): number of occupied bands of spin up number_occ_bands_spin_down (int): number of occupied bands of spin down spin_polarized (bool): If True, then it was a spin polarized calculation limit_deviation (float): limit of the maxDeviation :returns: Boolean that will give you information about the quality of the projection

has_good_quality_maxDeviation(limit_maxDeviation: float = 0.1) → bool

Boolean that will give you information about the quality of the projection
