calculate Hamiltonian eigenvalue in siesta-4.1-b2

Asked by zhikai

Dear siesta developers and users

I am trying to calculate MPSH eigenvalues by tbtrans. To calculate it, I add a fdf flag in the input file, such as:

TS.TBT.CalcIeig T

However, there is no xxxx.IEIG file generated. The version of siesta/transiesta/tbtrans is 4.1-b2. I have no idea why it happens.

Any help will be appreciated!

Please read the manual. The MPSH is not implemented in 4.0 or above.

To calculate the MPSH eigenvalues you could read in the Hamiltonian via sisl https://github.com/zerothi/sisl.

Something like this:

>>> script.py
import sisl as si
H = si.get_sile('siesta.TSHS').read_hamiltonian()
H = H.sub([10, 11, 12])
print(H.eigh())
>>>

which will calculate the MPSH eigenvalues for the 11th, 12th and 13th atom.
