[Wien] Intel Composer xe sp1.8.273

2012-01-25 Thread Maxim Rakitin
Hi Marcin,

I tried l_fcompxe_2011.8.273.tgz on my Open SUSE 12.1 (Intel Core 2 Duo 
processor) with WIEN2k 11.1, it compiles and works fine without any 
problems. Update 6 on this system produced crashes on the same calculation.

[Wien] Intel Composer xe sp1.8.273

2012-01-25 Thread Marcin Kowalik
Dear Wien2k users,

Could You tell if is the Intel Composer 2011 XE sp1.8.273 defective like 
version 1.6 (update
6)?  

I have a problem with lapw1 crash in very first second of calculations with 
message: ?error: command .../wien2k/lapw1 lapw1.def failed?. I have tried 
several different settings of compiler options, but with no success.

The search engine for this group is not very effective and I have not been able 
to find answer to my question.

[Wien] Sum of Eigenvalues

2012-01-25 Thread Peter Blaha
It should represent an integral over the BZ (of course represented as finite 
sum on
a grid of k-points as specified in case.klist) of the occupied band states (up 
to EF),
i.e. without core (but including "semicore").

Therefore it also may depend not only on the k-mesh, but also on the 
"Fermi"-method.

It is in Ry and with respect to the "average coulomb potential in the 
interstitial",
which defines our energy-zero, but which otherwise does NOT have any physical 
meaning.

Thus this quantity is usually of no particular interest (other than being part 
of E-tot),
but may be used eg. when using the "force-theorem" in non-scf SO calculations 
using
different magnetization directions.

Maybe you can also get some meaningfull comparison of these "band-energies", 
when you
can bring them to some common E-zero in two calculations, e.g. referring to 
some common
core-energy,

[Wien] Magnetic moment for AFM configuration

2012-01-25 Thread pieper

I never tried to calculate something like this but my first guess of what
goes wrong would be along the lines of Laurence Marks ideas. Are you sure
that the symmetry of your supercell is compatible with an overall AF
solution? For example something like

++
--
++
--
vacuum spacer
chmiesorption layer
++
--
++
--
.
.
.

could easily be the result of a supercell construction - and it would NOT
be compatible with an overall AFM solution.

Best regards,

Martin Pieper

 Because the substrate was set as an anti-ferromagnetic (AFM)

 the total spin magnetic moment should be zero.

[Wien] Sum of Eigenvalues

2012-01-25 Thread Jyoti
Dear Prof. Blaha and dear WIEN users,

   I have a few questions regarding the ?Sum  of  
Eigenvalues?  parameter  given the scf output of the WIEN2K program.  I will be 
highly obliged to get the reply to these questions.
1.  This ?sum of eigenvalues? implies sum over what part of bandstructure; 
the one given in klist or over some other part of bandstructure also or over 
the entire bandstructure (and if so which is that?).
2.  What is the zero point with respect to which this sum is defined?
3.  Presumably it also is in Rydbergs.
I thank you a lot for your attention and time to go 
through this mail and for kindly providing  me the reply.

Thanking You,
Yours Sincerely,
Jyoti

[Wien] mpich2

2012-01-25 Thread Laurence Marks
Dear All,

Using WIen2k with mpich (or mvapich/openmpi) is not hard once one has
fought through Intel's compilation options.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with mpich2 -- the daemon
version. It would be useful to share this. Some specific questions:
a) Is it best to start the daemons as root and leave them sitting, or
on a user basis?
b) Are they started by a pbs job, by a user script or what? Which is better?
c) Has anyone benchmarked mpich2 versus mpich (or other variants)?

[Wien] Curie temperature

2012-01-25 Thread shameem banu
Dear Wien2k users,
Can we calculate the Curie temperature using Wien2k? If so how? Please this may 
be explained.
For Cr, I can not find case.inst in the wien2k manual and I request that this 
may be sent so that I can compare with the one I got.Few more examples may also 
kindly be sent.
Thank you.

[Wien] Curie temperature

2012-01-25 Thread Rocquefelte
To my knowledge the evaluation of the Curie temperature could not be a 
direct output of a DFT calculation.
In literature, you could find equation allowing to estimate Tc based on 
a preliminary estimation of the exchange parameters J(ij).
These exchange parameters must be calculated based on a mapping 
analysis, which consists to consider different magnetic orderings 
(ground state and excited magnetic states).

In conclusion to estimate Tc you need to do more than one calculation 
and you have to define your own strategy to estimate the J parameters. 
Thus it appears critical to have an output in a DFT code providing Tc, 
to my point of view.

Best Regards

Xavier
