openmx-hks

Parse the tight-binding Hamiltonian and other data from OpenMX and transform/output it into various formats. Examples also include plotting electronic band structure and calculating ballistic transport properties.

Features

1. Portable: only *.hks file is required
2. Easy: minimal dependencies, straightforward options
3. Functional:
   • all data is parsed including the Hamiltonian, the overlap matrix, the Hartree potential, the Fermi level, the atomic structure and more;
   • adjusts energies;
   • exports Hamiltonian and overlap matrices into various formats (MATLAB, json, hdf5, sparse and dense);
   • exports structure into an XSF file;
