The BAND-GUI modules

The BAND-GUI consists of several modules:

ADFjobs

This utility ($ADFBIN/adfjobs) manages your jobs: run a job on your local machine or on remote machines. It also serves as a interface to all files belonging to your job, and it servers as a convenient launcher of the other ADF-GUI modules.

BANDinput

A utility program ($ADFBIN/bandinput), which enables users to easily create BAND jobs. You can use BANDinput to define your periodic structure (geometry), and to set details of your BAND job using an easy-to-use graphical user interface. BANDinput will generate the complete job script for you. This script takes care of running BAND.

ADFview

A simple program ($ADFBIN/adfview) that displays volume data, such as the electron deformation density and orbitals.

BANDstructure

This program ($ADFBIN/bandstructure) shows a plot of the electronic band structure

ADFdos

This program ($ADFBIN/adfdos) shows the DOS graphs for BAND. Both the full DOS and partial DOS is available: you can select which atoms (or even which functions on some atom) should participate in the DOS.

ADFmovie

This program ($ADFBIN/adfmovie) shows the progress of a geometry optimization

ADFtail

A minor ADF-GUI utility ($ADFBIN/adftail) that will just show the contents of a text file, updating when the text file grows (like the UNIX tail -f command). It is used to monitor the 'logfile'. The progress of an BAND (and ADF) calculation is always written to this file.

ADFoutput

A output browser ($ADFBIN/adfoutput) for the output generated by BAND. It displays the full output file, and provides short-cuts to the most common things of interest (including properties).

GUIprefs

All preferences that are being used by the ADF-GUI and the BAND-GUI.
