[DFTB-Plus-User] eigenvec.out

[Benjamin Hourahine]

Dear Mani,

you have an arbitrary global phase of pi, this is harmless for the properties of the system
(eigenvectors are defined up to a global phase). 
As to why its happening this could either be due to working with the transpose of the 
matrices (most likely) or a slightly different eigensolver.

Regards

Ben

Subject: [DFTB-Plus-User] eigenvec.out

Dear All,

I am working on an application which involves graphene, a periodic system
for the purpose of the present question. I need the eigenvectors and the
overlap matrix for my application, which are conveniently provided by the
dftb+ code in eigenvec.out, eigenvec.bin and overreal.dat. Now my question
is why are the eigenvector coefficients in these files seem to be complex
conjugated. To check, I did the eigenvalue problem
                             H C = E S C
using H and S given in hamsqr1.dat and oversqr.dat, and the eigenvectors indeed
came out as complex conjugates of those in eigenvec.out file.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Best regards,

Mani Farjam
