Plot atomic orbitals


Clicked A Few Times
Dear NWChem users and developers,
I need to plot the atomic orbitals on a given atom. Is it possible to obtain a cube file of the AO?

I have another question: the dplot functionality does not work with complex eigenvectors, obtained after spin-orbit dft.
How can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

If I understand you right you want is to tell the code that it should only plot that piece of a molecular orbital (that piece of the density) that is build from basis functions on a specific atom. We do not have this capability implemented in NWChem.

You are correct, dplot cannot at present handle complex wave functions coming from spin-orbit calculations. It is on our to do list, but other then coding it yourself right now there is no quick fix.

Localization with spin orbit
Thank you for the quick answer, Bert. If I can suggest another point to add to the to do list, it would be orbital localization in spin-orbit calculations (with complex C Matrix).
