Bonding Analysis

Chemical bonding analysis using Quantum ESPRESSO and Python post-processing tools.

Sub-Skills

Sub-Skill Directory Description
Charge Density Analysis charge-density/ Total charge, charge difference, deformation density plots (2D slices, 1D profiles) via pp.x
ELF Analysis elf-analysis/ Electron Localization Function for bond character identification (covalent/ionic/metallic)
Bader Charge Analysis bader-charge/ Bader charge partitioning for charge transfer and oxidation states; includes Lowdin charge fallback via projwfc.x
Orbital Projection orbital-projection/ Projected DOS, fat bands, orbital hybridization, and crystal field splitting via projwfc.x

General Workflow

All bonding analyses follow the same initial step:

  1. SCF calculation with pw.x (self-consistent field)
  2. Post-processing with pp.x, projwfc.x, or external tools
  3. Visualization / quantification with Python (matplotlib, numpy)

Prerequisites

  • Quantum ESPRESSO 7.5 (pw.x, pp.x, projwfc.x)
  • Python packages: numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pymatgen, ase
  • For Bader analysis: Henkelman group bader binary (pip install or download)
  • Pseudopotential files appropriate for your system

When to Use

  • Charge density: Visualize where electrons accumulate; compare bonded vs isolated atoms.
  • ELF: Identify bond types -- covalent bonds show ELF near 1, metallic bonds near 0.5.
  • Bader charges: Quantify charge transfer between atoms; estimate oxidation states.
  • Orbital projection: Understand which orbitals participate in bonding; identify hybridization and crystal field effects.
