STM plugin¶
Description¶
A plugin for Util/plstm
Supported Siesta versions¶
At least 4.0.1 of the 4.0 series, and 4.1-b3 of the 4.1 series, which can be found in the development platform (http://launchpad.net/siesta/).
Inputs¶
- parameters, class
ParameterData
A dictionary with a few parameters to specify the mode of calculation and the height or isovalue at which to process the LDOS:
{
"z": "5.8" # In Ang
}
(The mode of calculation is hard-wired to constant-height for now)
- parent_folder, class
RemoteData
The parent folder of a previous Siesta calculation in which the LDOS file was generated.
Outputs¶
- stm_array
ArrayData
A collection of three 2D arrays (X, Y, Z) holding the section or topography information. They follow the meshgrid convention in Numpy. A contour plot can be generated with the get_stm_image.py script in the repository of examples.
- output_parameters
ParameterData
(accessed bycalculation.res
)
At this point only parser information is returned.
Errors¶
Errors during the parsing stage are reported in the log of the calculation (accessible
with the verdi calculation logshow
command).
