Files useful for tutorials and teaching using SIESTA code, analysis using python and visualization with VMD.

SIESTA is both a method and its computer program implementation, to perform efficient electronic structure calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of molecules and solids. https://siesta-project.org/siesta/

The python codes require to import standard numpy and matplotlib and also the python library SISL for electronic structure calculations https://sisl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

The visualization program VMD can be found here

For SIESTA tutorials check out here: https://sisl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials.html#siesta-transiesta-support https://docs.siesta-project.org/projects/siesta/en/latest/tutorials/index.html

The input structures are provided in fdf format (native format for SIESTA) and xyz. The conversion between both formats can be done easily using the sgeom command in sisl as described here
