Dear members of Quantum-Espresso,
I am a beginner of Quantum-Espresso. My question is about the orbital of a
hydrogen atom. I calculated the orbital of a hydrogen atom using
Quantum-Espresso. The orbitals of the hydrogen atom have already been
analytically solved. These orbitals are (1) s-orbital is a spherically
symmetric orbital, (2) p-orbitals have two lobes with a node located at the
nucleus, and (3) d-orbitals have two types of orbitals, one kind of orbitals
consist of a cloverleaf shape, with four electron-dense lobes, and another
type of orbital has two lobes oriented in the z-axis with a donut-shaped
ring in the x-y plane.
However, the orbitals obtained with Quantum-Espresso (assuming the ILDOS
pattern as the orbital) were all spherically symmetric orbitals from the
first orbital to the tenth orbital. I was not able to obtain a pattern with
a shape like p-orbital or d-orbital.
Could someone tell me why the orbital turned out like this?
My input data is as follows.
