Changing of kpath and re-calculating.

Dear collegues. I have a question about the calculation of another band kpath. Is there any possibility to use already calculated density for another band structure calculation with different path? It is a bit long to wait re-calculation of the same structure. In FPLO already calculated density is used for any further calculations, so i am interested, does the OpenMX have such feature or not. Thank you.

Some difficult to understand how the weights can be vizualized. In manual we have next:

gnuplot> p "sic_primitive.BANDDAT1","sic_primitive.unfold_totup" u 1:2:($3*0.02) w circle

gnuplot> p "sic_primitive.BANDDAT1","sic_primitive.unfold_orbup" u 1:2:(($3+$4+$5+$6)*0.05) w circle,
"sic_primitive.unfold_orbup" u 1:2:($7*0.05) w circle

What does it mean? What are $3, 1:2:, u w circle, 0.02 and 0.05? I didnt find anything about these flags and strongly confused. Help please.

Dear Victor,

>Is there any possibility to use already calculated density for another band structure calculation with different path? It is a bit long to wait re-calculation of the same structure.

In the restart, a conventional way is to set "scf.maxIter 1", and in this case, OpenMX can move to the calculation along k-paths without the iterative calculation. In another way, only in the case of "scf.SpinPolarization NC", you can use "kSpin" to calculate the band dispersion along k-paths from an scfout file as follows:

You can find how to use "kSpin" in http://www.openmx-square.org/openmx_man3.9/node175.html

These are commands of gnuplot. You can learn how to use gnuplot by searching "gnuplot tutorial for beginners" in Google Search, for example. I think that trying some tutorial is the fastest way.
