Si case

Let us illustrate the calculation using an input file 'Si2_k50x50x50.dat' stored in the directory 'work'. The input file is for a calculation of Si bulk including 2 atoms in the unit cell, where $10\times 10\times 10$ k-points and $50\times 50\times 50$ k-points are used for the SCF calculation and the calculation of conductivity, respectively. One can perform the calculation as
   % mpirun -np 112 ./openmx Si2_k50x50x50.dat
After finishing the SCF calculation normally, the relevant calculation '$<$Optical calculation start$>$' starts as shown in the standard output below:

The format of each file can be found in the header part of the file, where the unit for each physical quantity is also provided. For example, 'Si2_k50x50x50.cd_re' storing the real part of optical conductivity tensor $\sigma$ can be seen as shown below:

# conductivity tensor (real part) , unit = Siemens/meter = Mho/meter = 1/(Ohm*meter)
# index: energy-grid=1, xx=2, xy=3, xz=4, yx=5, yy=6, yz=7, zx=8, zy=9, zz=10, trace=11

The first column is the photon energy (eV), and from the second columns onward, the components of tensor such as $\sigma _{xx}$ and $\sigma_{xy}$ are stored. In the last column the average value of the diagonal components $\sigma _{xx}$, $\sigma_{yy}$, and $\sigma_{zz}$ is given. The other output files also follow the same format as in 'Si2_k50x50x50.cd_re'. By plotting the first column as horizontal axis and the second column as vertical axis of 'Si2_k50x50x50.cd_re', 'Si2_k50x50x50.cd_im', 'Si2_k50x50x50.df_re', and 'Si2_k50x50x50.df_im', one can obtain the optical conductivity $\sigma _{xx}$ and dielectric function $\varepsilon _{xx}$ as shown in Fig. 80.
