You may save your file in VASP format. Then, you can copy the
atomic_positions.

[Pw_forum] Constrained magnetic calculation

2014-03-03 Thread paresh rout
Dear all,
 I am doing  spin polarized  calculations on a multiferroic
compound . In some cases I am doing constrained magnetic calculations to
get the Low-spin and High-spin state . For this I am using
constrained_magnetization='atomic'
starting_magnetization(1) = 5.0
starting_magnetization(2) = -3.0
starting_magnetization(3) = 0.0
starting_magnetization(4) = 0.0
 lambda =0,5,10,20,25,etc
Atom 3 and 4 are  non magnet. As I am increasing the Lambda value the
energy increasing linearly although I am getting the correct total_mag but
the absolute magnetization also increasing linearly both in Low-spin and
High-spin case. So I do not understand how to choose a correct LAMBDA value
in the constrained magnetisation. Any help will be highly appreciated.

[Pw_forum] X crysden of ZrO2 from doped TiO2

2014-03-03 Thread Ari P Seitsonen

Dear Ayedun Funmilayo,

   Adding to the answer of Paolo - after I converted some special 
characters into whitespace. What I was wondering, why do you have more k 
points into the third direction when the corresponding real-space lattice 
vector is the longest one? Shouldn't it be the opposite, this being more 
or less an isotropic crystal? Maybe I have misunderstood something here 
though.

 Greetings,

[Pw_forum] Fixing atoms in vc-relax

2014-03-03 Thread Sridhar Sadasivam
Hello,

I am trying to fix some atoms in a vc-relax simulation, i.e., I want the
relative positions of these atoms to remain the same during vc-relaxation.
I specified 0 0 0 next to the atomic positions of these atoms. However
their relative positions do change. I have tried giving the coordinates of
these atoms in both crystal and angstrom units with no luck.

Their relative positions do remain constant in a relax simulation but not
in a vc-relax simulation. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Thanks,
Sridhar

Dear Mulwa Winfred,

   Adding to Yun Wang's answer, you can also use VESTA to save the 
structure in the "p1" format, so far as I remember.

   Variable:   starting_magnetization(i), i=1,ntyp

   Type:   REAL
   Description:starting spin polarization on atomic type 'i' in a spin
   polarized calculation.*Values range between -1 (all
spins**
**   down for the valence electrons of atom type 'i') to 1**
**   (all spins up)*. Breaks the symmetry and provides a
starting
   point for self-consistency. The default value is
zero, BUT a
   value MUST be specified for AT LEAST one atomic type
in spin
   polarized calculations, unless you constrain the
magnetization
   (see "tot_magnetization" and
"constrained_magnetization").
   Note that if you start from zero initial
magnetization, you
   will invariably end up in a nonmagnetic (zero
magnetization)
   state. If you want to start from an antiferromagnetic
state,
   you may need to define two different atomic species
   corresponding to sublattices of the same atomic type.
   starting_magnetization is ignored if you are performing a
   non-scf calculation, if you are restarting from a
previous
   run, or restarting from an interrupted run.
   If you fix the magnetization with "tot_magnetization",
   you should not specify starting_magnetization.

[Pw_forum] Fixing atoms in vc-relax

2014-03-03 Thread Maxim Popov
Dear Sridhar Sadasivam,

Fixing atoms by specifying trailing zeros leads to fixing atomic
coordinates within the cell, i.e., their fractional coordinates.
When doing 'relax' type of calculation, keeping fractional coordinates
unchanged is equivalent to keeping Cartesian coordinates the same, thus
distances between the fixed atoms are preserved. Situation becomes
different in case of 'vc-relax', now the cell parameters may change, and
even if the fractional coordinates of some atoms remain unchanged, their
Cartesian coordinates are likely to change as well as the distances between
the 'fixed' atoms.

HTH,
Maxim.

[Pw_forum] electron-phonon coupling for specific modes

2014-03-03 Thread Hongliang Xin
Dear All,

I am trying to figure out how to calculate the electron-phonon coupling
coefficient for specific modes of surface adsorbates. I tested the bulk
materials, and espresso works perfectly. Since I am only interested in some
modes of surface adsorbates, I need to specify the mode to calculate. But
the calculator skips the electron-phonon coupling part right after the
linear response calculation of phonon modes. What I did is to give
nat_todo=1 and specify the atom index in the input file for ph.x to
calculate the coupling coefficient. I went the source code of elphon.f90,
and found that it was hard coded that it will exit from the elphon
calculation if not all of the modes are calculated (IF
(.NOT.done_elph(irr)) RETURN).
So the question is whether there is a way to specify the mode I need. It
does not make sense to calculate all the modes for substrate atoms.

Thanks,
Hongliang

Dear all,

I am working on rutile TiO2 for my PhD research work. I have gotten my 
band gap energy as well as viewing the structure using? Xcrysden? for this 
calculation. Then, I decide 
to dope TiO2 with Zr using this composition: $Ti_{1-x}Zr_ {x}O_{2}.$ I have 
successively gotten? my results for the values of x = 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75. 
Then, I proceeded to make my x = 1, where? I now have ZrO2. But I ran into 
trouble because I could not view this structure using xcrysden. please help me 
to get this 
problem solved. I have my input file below:
