What problem does it solve?

This Skill calculates chemically interpretable bonding properties (COHP, projected DOS, atomic charges, and bonding integrands like ICOHP) by projecting converged VASP plane-wave wavefunctions onto a localized atomic-like basis using LOBSTER.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated VASP → LOBSTER computational flow: Generates and executes a Relax → Static → Lobster sequence appropriate for WAVECAR-based projections.
  • Bonding analysis outputs: Produces COHP data (e.g., COHPCAR.lobster) suitable for chemical bonding insight such as covalency assessment via ICOHP.
  • HPC-aware execution guidance: Supports remote/HPC execution to avoid inefficient transfer of very large WAVECAR files.
  • Post-processing and visualization: Includes a Python analysis script to load LOBSTER COHP data and generate plots for quick interpretation.

Quick Start

Use the Skill to run a remote LOBSTER projection workflow for your structure by asking for execution with calculation_type set to "lobster" and execution_mode set to "remote".
