Output-raw-data

Unformatted data output

In order to restart the calculation not from the very beginning but from the last calculated step on has to save the data including all internal structures. This is done by the keyword  $output-raw-data. In order to keep files small, the format is binary and is not readable by outside programs.

$output-raw-data                                           optional !
 destination-directory                 character           required !
 potential                             character           optional !

Syntax:

destination-directory = my-directory/
                 e.g. = raw_data/

Name of directory to which the files should be written. Must exist and directory name has to include the slash (\ for DOS and / for UNIX).

 

potential      = yes / no

Flag whether to save the electrostatic potential.

 

fermi-levels   = yes / no

Flag whether to save the Fermi levels.

 

kp-eigenstates = yes / no

Flag whether to save the k.p eigenstates and wavefunctions.

strain         = yes / no

Flag whether to save the strain tensor.

Comments

The unformatted data can be reused in the program to continue some calculations. For details see for example flow scheme or $simulation-flow-control.
