Re: [SIESTA-L] error in LDOS and PDOS

2009-05-04 Thread Sarah Lebedev
Hello Oleksandr and Pablo,

Pablo, I wanted to calculate the PDOs over whole ranges of m therefore, I
suppose that replacing * with -1 does not affect the result. If it is
otherwise please let me know.

What I am concerned about is that I have problem compiling the utilities
with gfortran, for example, I can not compile pdosxml in the Util, since I
receive errors as follows:

gfortran  -o pdos m_orbital_chooser.o m_pdos.o f2kcli.o pdos.o
../../Src/libxmlparser.a
f2kcli.o: In function `__f2kcli_MOD_get_command_argument':
f2kcli.F90:(.text+0xc2): undefined reference to `iargc_'
f2kcli.F90:(.text+0x18e): undefined reference to `getarg_'
f2kcli.F90:(.text+0x1d2): undefined reference to `getarg_'
f2kcli.o: In function `__f2kcli_MOD_command_argument_count':
f2kcli.F90:(.text+0x212): undefined reference to `iargc_'
f2kcli.o: In function `__f2kcli_MOD_get_command':
f2kcli.F90:(.text+0x232): undefined reference to `iargc_'
f2kcli.F90:(.text+0x290): undefined reference to `getarg_'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [pdos] Error 1


That is while I could compile Dr. Postnikov's tools easily.

I know it may seems a personal problem, but I would be happy if you kindly
let me know how to be able to compile the utils with gfort, while I have no
privilage to have other compilers?

Regards,
Sarah


[SIESTA-L] error in LDOS and PDOS

2009-05-02 Thread Sarah Lebedev
Hi,

I have compiled Siesta both with g95 and with gfortran. I want to calculate
the PDOS and the LDOS of my system. I have managed to compile fmpdos from
Dr. Postinikov's tools for the projected density of states and eig2dos in
the Util for Local density of States both successfully with gfortran and
once again with g95.

But when I want to execute them I receive fortran runtime error:

1.
a.  with g95 for fmpdos I receive:

 *At line 242 of file fmpdos.f
 Traceback: not available, compile with -ftrace=frame or -ftrace=full
 Fortran runtime error: Bad integer for item 1 in list input*

b. with gfortran I receive:

 At line 242 of file fmpdos.f
 Fortran runtime error: Bad integer for item 1 in list input


2. for eig2dos for both compilers I receive:

 At line 53 of file eig2dos.f (unit = 5, file = 'stdin')
 Fortran runtime error: Bad real number in item 1 of list input

I do not have the privilage to use ifort or other compilers. Is there a
solution for this problem using gfort or g95?

Regards,
Sarah


Re: [SIESTA-L] single excitation for unpolarized sturucture

2009-04-06 Thread Sarah Lebedev
Dear Marcos,

In my calculation, when i compare the results of the single excitation with
the off ones, I see a difference in the total energy. What could this
difference stand for?

Regards,

 I guess the issue here is not so much about being spin-polarized or not,
 but what the single excitation, as implemented in siesta, means. As
 stated in the manual, single excitation will get the electronic population
 of the HOMO (or maybe more generally, that of the first valence band) and
 promote it to the LUMO (first conduction band), creating an artificial
 excited state.

 One thing in which it certainly has an effect is on the equilibrium atomic
 geometry. In fact, the single excitation feature has been used to mimick
 an excited state in a PPV (or maybe PPP, now I'm not completely sure) to
 check for the equilibrium geometry of that state. Try looking in the
 publications list, I think it was published on PRL about two or three
 years ago by people in the siesta team (Emilio Artacho was in the list of
 authors, I guess).

 I have used it for another small polymer, but with no great effect on its
 geometry. So, the effect might strongly depend on which system you are
 working on, and I don't see a simple rule to say what the effect might be.
 I have a few hypothesis, but I'm really not sure about them. Maybe someone
 more knowledgeable could give a better insight?

 Cheers,

 Marcos

  Hello Siesta Users,
 
  I have always worked on the systems with no spin polarization and now I
 am
  interested to have the resilts of single excitation in Siesta.
 
  I would like to know if it is worth to calculate the single excitation
 for
  unpolarizaed structures? What differences these two will have?

[SIESTA-L] cross section calculation

2009-02-26 Thread Sarah Lebedev
Dear Siesta users,

I am calculating the young modulus of nanowires. For that I need to have the
cross section area of the wires.

Is there a visualization tool that could give me the cross section area of
such systems? Also, is it necessary that we include the passivating Hs in
the cross section as well?

[SIESTA-L] charge density problem

2009-02-22 Thread Sarah Lebedev
Hello all,

I am new handling siesta files that is why I ask this question.

It is obvious that for plotting the charge densty at gamma point for LUMO
and HOMO states I should use LocalDensityOfStates.

My question is about arranging the energies in this block to get to the righ
HOMO and LUMO states. If you have any experiences please let me know.

Regards,


Re: [SIESTA-L] charge density problem

2009-02-22 Thread Sarah Lebedev
Thanks for the complete answer, it comes really useful to me.

As I have read the mailing list, I have found that for finding the HOMO and
LUMO we should look at the EIG file. Is it the only way to do so?

 Hi Sarah

 in the block you put the energy gap you want to plot. Therefore, you
 should run siesta twice and in two separate directories,
 one in a energy range that just contais the HOMO and another one for the
 LUMO
 If they are at HOMO: -3.29089 and  LUMO:  -3.17099
 %block LocalDensityOfStates
   -3.31089   -3.27089 eV
 %endblock LocalDensityOfStates
 would plot the HOMO, and
 %block LocalDensityOfStates
   -3.18099   -3.16099 eV
 %endblock LocalDensityOfStates
 would do it for the LUMO. The zero of the energy is NOT Fermi energy!

Re: [SIESTA-L] Fwd: crystal energy calculation

2009-02-13 Thread Sarah Lebedev
Thanks so much for replying me.

Regarding the GaN you have said, taking a bigger unitcell means forexample
having 4 unit cells with 16 atoms, or the unit cell still has 4 atoms and we
just increase the length of the cell?

also, in GaN forexample again we have 2 Ga and 2 N in the unit cell, right,
so how could I mention the basis I have for Ga as an example, because I have
only mentioned the ghost atom with a negative sign of atomic number? All in
all, how could I have a real Ga and a ghost Ga basis?

[SIESTA-L] Fwd: crystal energy calculation

2009-02-12 Thread Sarah Lebedev
*I am very sorry to re-send my email, but I really need to know the answer.*


Dear Siesta users,

I am sorry, I have not got my answer reading the whole archive about this
subject. Therefore, I hope you would kindly let me know the answer of the
following question:

We all know that for the crystals we have the following relation:

*Cohesive Energy (CE) = (energy of free atom) - (energy of atom in a
crystal).*

I am working on GaN bulk and nanostructures.

1. Regarding the energy of the free atom, as I read the archive, it seems
that we have to consider the ghost atoms surrounding the main atom to get
the enrgy of the free atom?! or, it is enough to have the right basis of the
atom and calculate its energy?

2. energy of atom in a crystal: when we calculate the enery of the bulk,
then how do we have the energy of the atom in the structure?

3. I would be grateful if you let me know the additional terms I have to
consider in order to calculate the cohesive energy of a slab too.

Regards,
Sarah
