[Q-e-developers] wavefunction

[Jiqiang Li]

Dear Paolo,
     Sorry to have expressed the wrong idea. 
1) I want to ask how to merely force the wavefunction at Gamma point to real numbers in a calculation with many k points, I do not care the case of other k points. "The former case is implemented", is it implemented? However, I output the wavefunction at Gamma point, result shows that  wavefunction at Gamma point is complex. 

2)Furthermore, I found that the elements of wavefunction array belong to identical k points share the same phase.  Then can I multiply  wavefuntions at all k points by the oppsite phase of wavefunction at Gamma point. Then the wavefunction at Gamma point becomes real numbers,  the relative phase between wavefunction at all k points keep unchange and physical properties will remain. Correct me if I am wrong.

You cannot, in general.  You can choose real wavefunctions only for Gamma (k=0), or if the system has inversion symmetry. The former case is implemented, the latter is not.
It wouldn't be that difficult to implement it, but it must be done with care.
