pymatgen.io.pwscf module

class PWInput(structure, pseudo=None, control=None, system=None, electrons=None, ions=None, cell=None, kpoints_mode='automatic', kpoints_grid=(1, 1, 1), kpoints_shift=(0, 0, 0))

Bases: object

Base input file class. Right now, only supports no symmetry and is very basic.

Initializes a PWSCF input file.

Parameters:

• structure (Structure) – Input structure. For spin-polarized calculation, properties (e.g. {“starting_magnetization”: -0.5, “pseudo”: “Mn.pbe-sp-van.UPF”}) on each site is needed instead of pseudo (dict).
• pseudo (dict) – A dict of the pseudopotentials to use. Default to None.
• control (dict) – Control parameters. Refer to official PWSCF doc on supported parameters. Default to {“calculation”: “scf”}
• system (dict) – System parameters. Refer to official PWSCF doc on supported parameters. Default to None, which means {}.
• electrons (dict) – Electron parameters. Refer to official PWSCF doc on supported parameters. Default to None, which means {}.
• ions (dict) – Ions parameters. Refer to official PWSCF doc on supported parameters. Default to None, which means {}.
• cell (dict) – Cell parameters. Refer to official PWSCF doc on supported parameters. Default to None, which means {}.
• kpoints_mode (str) – Kpoints generation mode. Default to automatic.
• kpoints_grid (sequence) – The kpoint grid. Default to (1, 1, 1).
• kpoints_shift (sequence) – The shift for the kpoints. Defaults to (0, 0, 0).

static from_file(filename)

Reads an PWInput object from a file.

Parameters:filename (str) – Filename for file Returns:PWInput object

static from_string(string)

Reads an PWInput object from a string.

Parameters:string (str) – PWInput string Returns:PWInput object

proc_val(key, val)

Static helper method to convert PWINPUT parameters to proper type, e.g., integers, floats, etc.

Parameters:

• key – PWINPUT parameter key
• val – Actual value of PWINPUT parameter.

write_file(filename)

Write the PWSCF input file.

Parameters:filename (str) – The string filename to output to.

exception PWInputError

Bases: BaseException

read_pattern(patterns, reverse=False, terminate_on_match=False, postprocess=<class 'str'>)

General pattern reading. Uses monty’s regrep method. Takes the same arguments.

Parameters:

• patterns (dict) – A dict of patterns, e.g., {“energy”: r”energy(sigma->0)s+=s+([d-.]+)”}.
• reverse (bool) – Read files in reverse. Defaults to false. Useful for large files, esp OUTCARs, especially when used with terminate_on_match.
• terminate_on_match (bool) – Whether to terminate when there is at least one match in each key in pattern.
• postprocess (callable) – A post processing function to convert all matches. Defaults to str, i.e., no change.

Renders accessible:

Any attribute in patterns. For example, {“energy”: r”energy(sigma->0)s+=s+([d-.]+)”} will set the value of self.data[“energy”] = [[-1234], [-3453], …], to the results from regex and postprocess. Note that the returned values are lists of lists, because you can grep multiple items on one line.
