[Pw_forum] bands_FS.x and spin polarized metals
Wow, what a "home computer"! Moor's law hadn't been invented at that time, right? :-) Are there any copyright issue to prevent me from using it in my presentation about "concise history of personal computer"? Thanks for sharing the precious picture with us!

Paolo, I'm sure I'm older than you! You're absolutely right. Abend was coined by the designers of the IBM 701. Mean time to failure on the early prototypes of that machine was only about three hours.

Hi Paul, Actually I have a version for spin-polarized bands, and can replace the code. Please wait just a few days (to test it again), and we can plot spin-polarized FS.

To All (especially Eyvaz Isaev!): When I look at the source code for bands_FS, it seems unlikely that the program will handle a spin-polarized metallic band structure (e.g., Ni.I notice in Example 8, that its band structure is "unpolarized" before applying bands_FS.x). And sure enough, if you're dumb and try anyway, it abends with a read error, probably because there's twice the number of k-points out there that it expects. If anyone out there wants to extend (or has extended) Eyvaz' code, I'd be a willing alpha-tester. Paul M.
