[QE-users] Bloch (Kohn-Sham) orbitals in QE calculations

[Shubham Patel]

Dear community and developers,

I would like to know that where are the Bloch states/orbitals/wavefunctions in QE-DFT calculations are stored? Are those stored in *.wfc files? These are the binary files and can't access them. If those Bloch orbitals are stored in wfc files, could someone tell how to access those states? I want to create Wannier orbitals using Bloch states. Can somebody also tell where I can access the Wannier orbitals in Wannier90 calculations so that I don't have to calculate them using Bloch states myself. I know that the unitary matrices from which the Wannier orbitals are calculated are stored in the 'UNK_*' files, but those are also binary files and therefore I can't directly use them for my purpose.

It would be really helpful if someone can tell how or from which file I can access the Bloch orbitals or Wannier orbitals. Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely,
Shubham
