Plotting Charge Density in 3D: Can My Data Be Formatted as an XYZ File?

I have a charge density I would like to plot in 3D

The data is currently in the format

x1 y1 z1 density
x2 y2 z2 density
etc
etc

where x,y,z are grid points. Can this kind of data be formatted as an xyz file? I know xyz is normally atom locations (I have no explicit atoms), but I have heard it can be done.

The program I am using to plot it is gopenmol, which expects plt format. I can convert xyz to plt but not sure how to convert my data to xyz

Thanks

It doesn't sound like it. It sounds to me like an xyz file represents a different kind of data. I'd suggest looking at xcrysden or vesta for plotting charge density in 3D.
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
