[Wien] Need guidance

2013-09-13 Thread Zaid
Respected Members

We would be happy if someone specially Senior community members guide us to
new potential trends/materials that could be examined by the use of WIEN2k
code.
We hope that from their experience and interaction with the current trends
they will come out with something very novel and admirable ideas.

Best Regards
Zaid

[Wien] mbj probem gap

2013-09-13 Thread Amine Slassi
Hi,

I tried using mbj , I have running the calculation of  materials  pure  ( 
supercell 2*2*2) I found that the gap is  Eg = 3 eV, and as I made doping of 
this materails  the gap   is  become  Eg = -99.99 eV ( metalic) , (note that 
with only GGA I don't found this problem.  just with MBJ)

Re: [Wien] mbj probem gap

2013-09-13 Thread Michael Sluydts

Hello Amine,

Have you taken a closer look at the band structure of the GGA and mBJ 
results?


If you get the gap out of the scf files, depending on your k-mesh 
sometimes you can miss some data.


For instance if you use a k-mesh that does not include the gamma point 
and there is a sharp cross over at the gamma point. Either way the band 
structure should give a closer hint as to what is happening.

Michael Sluydts

Hi,

I have found this problem just with doping in mBj ( for pure not problem), I 
look at analys scf.

Hello,

I would really start with plotting the band structures for both, so that 
you can see where the problem actually lies, as in what happens to the 
bands. The procedure is described in the manual.

[Wien] an error from lapw1 I cannot get rid of (whatever I do !)

2013-09-13 Thread Fabiana Da Pieve
Dear Wien2k developers and users

now you will kill me because on this question there are already many
things in the mailing list.
I have tried everything possible for this compound (structure file
below) and I yet I did not succeed to make the scf run properly.

I get the error:
Error in LAPW1
 'SELECT' - no energy limits found for L= 0
 'SELECT' - E-bottom -200.0   E-top   -5.68200

I have tried to: reduce Rmt, change the number of k points, change the
mixing factor, change the energy parameters everything that was
suggested in the mailing list and other things that I found on the
userguide. But there is no way ! I failed.

The strange thing is that I am running many other similar compounds,
and I never had any problems (really, they are very similar
compounds).

All suggestions are very much appreciated

Thank you very much for your attention
Fabiana

Re: [Wien] an error from lapw1 I cannot get rid of (whatever I do !)

2013-09-13 Thread Laurence Marks
The most obvious thing to start is that the angles should be 90.0
exactly, and the translations at the bottom should be 0. (do x
patchsymm). Without this there could be problems.

Beyond that I don't see anything obvious. You have not said what RKMAX
etc you are using, so I don't think we can suggest much more.

N.B., I noticed that xx does not have a BVS for N-H. If someone would
like to do the mini project of adding it that would be useful to
others.

Glad my guess worked.

Considering the size of your cell, 1000 is a very large number of
k-points particularly if it is an insulator.

 you are totally right , now it seems to work.

 (sorry, I forgot to say that obviously I also tried different Rkmax
 values5.5,5.0,4.5,6.0, with Gmax always 24 , number of kpoints I
 tried: 1000, 1200, 1600, 2000)...
 I tried everything ...

 Thank you very much !

 The most obvious thing to start is that the angles should be 90.0
 exactly, and the translations at the bottom should be 0. (do x
 patchsymm). Without this there could be problems.

 Beyond that I don't see anything obvious. You have not said what RKMAX
 etc you are using, so I don't think we can suggest much more.

 N.B., I noticed that xx does not have a BVS for N-H. If someone would
 like to do the mini project of adding it that would be useful to
 others.

 Dear Wien2k developers and users

 I have tried everything possible for this compound (structure file
 below) and I yet I did not succeed to make the scf run properly.

 I get the error:
 Error in LAPW1
  'SELECT' - no energy limits found for L= 0
  'SELECT' - E-bottom -200.0   E-top   -5.68200

 I have tried to: reduce Rmt, change the number of k points, change the
 mixing factor, change the energy parameters everything that was
 suggested in the mailing list and other things that I found on the
 userguide. But there is no way ! I failed.

 The strange thing is that I am running many other similar compounds,
 and I never had any problems (really, they are very similar
 compounds).

 All suggestions are very much appreciated

 Thank you very much for your attention

Also, RKMAX of 4.5 is huge with a Rmin of 0.6. Please search back in
the mailing list to a discussion on what RKMAX to use a month or so
ago.

 Considering the size of your cell, 1000 is a very large number of
 k-points particularly if it is an insulator.
