Hello everyone,
I am new to Bader analysis so might be doing something silly....
Using den2cube on a formatted density output from a Castep run, I used Bader on the .cube file and think the output is a bit strange.
I implemented the fix suggested regarding the number of ions and that's worked ok. This is what the ACF.dat file says:

VACUUM CHARGE: 0.0000
VACUUM VOLUME: 0.0000
NUMBER OF ELECTRONS: 5.9762
Species: H 1-8, O 9-56, Si 66-80, K 81, 82 (and Mg 57, Al, 58-65)
The pseudopotentials are ultrasoft with rcut values: H: 0.80, O: 1.30; Al: 2.00; Si 1.80; Mg: 2.83; K: 3.38
I would like to know
1) if these results are useless for charge analysis
2) if they are, why has it occurred?
3) can it be fixed?
4) if they're not useless, how would I calculate the charge please?
Thank you for your time.
Best wishes,

Re: Bader and CAstep
Something is messed up. The total number of electrons reported (5.9762) is not reasonable.
If you post the cube file, we can try to debug it.

Re: Bader and CAstep
Well, I'm not totally sure yet. There may be a Bohr/Ang conversion factor issue.
I do not see any core charges in your density. In fact, I don't see any charge on the Si or Al atoms. This will lead to poor or non-sensical results from the Bader analysis.
Still, it would be good to figure out the units problem -- if I have time, I'll get back to this. Perhaps see if the values are really density or perhaps the total charge in each voxel.

Re: Bader and CAstep
Hello,
I think there are three issue with den2cube code; 1)Bohr/Ang conversion, 2) density scaling, 3) double count density at periodic boundaries.
try this patch and inform me any problem.

Re: Bader and CAstep
Hello toshi_shingu, thank you very much for your effort of den2cube!
I modified den2cube with your patch, and used it to convert the *.den_fmt file of CASTEP to a cube file, then used bader on the cube file and got the output file. For comparison, I also did bader analysis of the same model from VASP output.
Comparing the ACF.dat file from CASTEP output with that from VASP output, I found the difference of the total number of electrons is subtle, only 0.0017, but the charge of each atom is very different.

I would like to know if den2cube with your patch still exists other problem, or if it can be used, how could I calculate the charge of each atom from CASTEP output properly?
Thank you for your time.
Best wishes!
I modified den2cube with your patch, and used it to convert the *.den_fmt file of CASTEP to a cube file, then used bader on the cube file and got the output file. For comparison, I also did bader analysis of the same model from VASP output.
Comparing the ACF.dat file from CASTEP output with that from VASP output, I found the difference of the total number of electrons is subtle, only 0.0017, but the charge of each atom is very different.

I would like to know if den2cube with your patch still exists other problem, or if it can be used, how could I calculate the charge of each atom from CASTEP output properly?
Thank you for your time.
Best wishes!

Re: Bader and CAstep
Hello lhtlx95,
There are zero-electrons atoms (H and Mg) in your ACF.dat from CASTEP output.
It might be a core charge issue.
Adding core charges to valence charges will solve this, but I dont know whether CASTEP can output core charges or not.

Re: Bader and CAstep
Hi,
I am new to this and may be doing something wrong,
I tried to start with the NaCl example in the site and my results are not right.
I have attached the castep .denfmt and the den2cube .cube file.
Here are my resultsfrom the ACF.dat:

Re: Bader and CAstep
There is clearly something wrong with the normalization and/or the units, given the total charge calculated. I tried various combinations converted between the charge in a voxel and the density in a voxel, as well as Ang -> Bohr, but I couldn't make it work. The fact that the charge on Na and Cl are similar in magnitude is also problematic. Maybe looking at the conversion script, or the program that wrote the charge density file should be the next step.
Re: Bader and CAstep
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I tried using the check2xsf script to convert the castep.check to .cube as an alternative to the den2cube that I had last to check whether there is a problem with the conversion script. My results are still not correct. I have attached a copy of .cube from check2xsf. Here is my result from this run.

Re: Bader and CAstep
Hello Shawn.
I cannot make xxx.cube from your result because den2cube requires xxx.castep and xxx.den_fmt.
I attach den2cube.f90 which mainly fixed unit conversion as Prof. graeme pointed out.

Re: Bader and CAstep
Hi Toshi_shingu,
Thank you for providing the modified den2cube, the results look good now. Here are my results for NaCl, it looks similar to that of Prof Graeme. Thanks once again.

Re: Bader and CAstep
Hi again,
I have another question. My apologies for bothering you again. We can get the ionic radii as the shyortest distance of an atom to its Bader boundary. Does the MIN DIST in the ACF.dat represent the ionic radii? If so, my results for NaF are not right. I have tried 90*90*90 and 60*60*60 FFT grids and the results are almost same. Thank you for all your help.

Re: Bader and CAstep
No this is not the ionic radii. It is main there as a sanity check. When people do not have core charges, this distance can become small, since the Bader volumes extend into the core. I would not try to interpret this distance in terms of materials properties.
Re: Bader and CAstep
Thank you for your reply Prof Graeme. So how can I calculate the ionic radii? I have included a study (attached) where they have calculated it from Bader analysis (e.g. Page 4, last paragraph, line 4-5).
thank you again
