# How to generate Electron Density Fields using DFT?

How may I generate Electron Density Field information using Density Functional Theory calculations? What would my required inputs be like in VASP or Quantum ESPRESSO?

• +1. Welcome to our new community and thank you very much for contributing your question here! We hope to see much more of you in the future !!! I had to comment out much of you question because you put more than one question into a single post. The other questions would have to be asked separately. May 11 at 16:19
• Do you mean electric field or electron density distribution? As far as I'm aware of there is no such thing as an electron density field May 11 at 16:23
• Electron Density Distribution. Basically this distribution which yields useful data related to other physical properties. May 11 at 16:42

I am assuming you mean just the electron density (as its typically referred to in my experience). In that case, if using VASP, you just set LCHARG = .TRUE. and you can load the CHGCAR file in a program such as VESTA.
