Dear Sir or Madam:

Can anyone teach me How to plot exciton wavefunction in k-space?

We know how to plot exciton wave function squared in real space by using plotxct.cplx.x.

But How to plot exciton wavefunction in k-space?

Please help.

Best

Hi Hong,

You can do so by using summarize_eigenvectors.cplx.x in the BSE directory.

Best!

Thank you for helping.

But how to use summarize_eigenvectors.cplx.x?

I can not find summarize_eigenvectors.cplx.x in the BerlekelyGW manual.

Please help

Best,

Hong

I figured out.

I need to search " summarize_eigenvectors " not " summarize_eigenvectors.cplx.x ".

Could the BGW team improve the manual better for searching?

Thank you so much! Meng.

Best,

Hong

Hi Hong,

Glad you figured it out. You are very welcome.

Sure, we will definitely improve the documentation in the next release.

Best!

Hello,

It seems this only plots the exciton amplitude squared. I'm wondering how to add the phase info to it. For example, how to plot exciton wavefunctions like Fig. 10 in PRB 93, 235435 (2016).
