    Dear exciting users,

    How do I get 3D data for oribtal at specific k-point? From the documentation I can see it is
    task 63, where do I specify "Orbital number" and "K-point"?

      Hi ekadants,

      add the following to your exciting.in:

      kstlist
        #k_1    #st_1
        #k_2    #st_2
        ...

      where #k_1 is the index of the (first) k-point you wish to use and #st_1 is the band index you wish to use (at that k-point). To find the k-point index, look in the KPOINTS.OUT file. To find the band index look in the EIGVAL.OUT or (if you make a band structure calculation with tasks 21) the BAND_SPECIES#_ATOM#.OUT file, where the band character is written

      Have fun!
