INPUT FILE DESCRIPTION
Program: pp.x / PWscf / Quantum Espresso (version: 6.6)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose of pp.x: data analysis and plotting.
The code performs two steps:
(1) reads the output produced by pw.x, extracts and calculates
the desired quantity/quantities (rho, V, ...)
(2) writes the desired quantity to file in a suitable format for
various types of plotting and various plotting programs
The input data of this program is read from standard input
or from file and has the following format:
NAMELIST &INPUTPP
containing the variables for step (1), followed by
NAMELIST &PLOT
containing the variables for step (2)
The two steps can be performed independently. In order to perform
only step (2), leave namelist &INPUTPP blank. In order to perform
only step (1), do not specify namelist &PLOT
Intermediate results from step 1 can be saved to disk (see
variable "filplot" in &INPUTPP) and later read in step 2.
Since the file with intermediate results is formatted, it
can be safely transferred to a different machine. This
also allows plotting of a linear combination (for instance,
charge differences) by saving two intermediate files and
combining them (see variables "weight" and "filepp" in &PLOT)
All output quantities are in ATOMIC (RYDBERG) UNITS unless
otherwise explicitly specified.
All charge densities integrate to the NUMBER of electrons
not to the total charge.
All potentials have the dimension of an energy (e*V, not V).
