[QE-users] How is the wavefunction supposed to be normalized?

[John McFarland]

Hello,


I tried to write some code that orthonormalizes the wave function and it doesn't work.  The code is shown below:


    ! othornormalize
      do ibnd = 1, nbnd

      ! orthogonalize  |psi_i>  to all  |psi_j>  for j<i
        call s_1psi ( npwx , npw , tddft_psi(1,ibnd,1) , spsi )

        do jbnd = 1, ibnd-1
          ! calculate |psi_i> - |psi_j><psi_j| S |psi_i>
          do ipw = 1, npw
            tddft_psi(ipw,ibnd,1) = tddft_psi(ipw,ibnd,1) - tddft_psi(ipw,jbnd,1) * conjg( tddft_psi(ipw,jbnd,1) ) * spsi(ipw)
          enddo
        enddo

      ! normalize |psi_i>
        norm = 0
        call s_1psi ( npwx , npw , tddft_psi(1,ibnd,1) , spsi )

        ! calculate <psi_i| S |psi_i>
        do ipw = 1, npw
          norm = norm + conjg( tddft_psi(ipw,ibnd,1) ) * spsi(ipw)
        enddo
        tddft_psi(:,ibnd,1) = tddft_psi(:,ibnd,1) / norm

      enddo



Is there a subroutine that can calculate <psi_i| S |psi_j> ?

Also, what is the difference between npw and npwx ?

I forgot to ask if different bands are orthogonal for the contraction over the S matrix.

yes, they are

yes, except the S matrix is never stored anywhere but is applied to the wfc by the s_1psi routine,

so more something like


 sum = 0.d0

 call s_1psi( npwx, npw, evc(1,b), spsi )

 DO  i = 1,npw

     sum = sum + conjg(evc(i,b)) * spsi(i)
 END DO

Dear all,


As I understand it, the wavefunction for each k-point is given by ecv(:,:), with the first index representing a single particle basis and the second index representing each band.  I'm guessing that when a normalized wavefunction is contracted over the S matrix, the result should equal one for each band.  What I think this would look like in code is:


 sum = 0

 DO  i = 1,npwx

    DO j = 1,npwx

       sum = sum + evc(i,b) * S(i,j) * evc(j,b)

    END DO

 END DO


and sum should equal 1 for any band b.  Is my understanding correct?


Best regards,

John McFarland
