[Wien] Studying the oxidation of metal chlorides by other metal oxides

2015-07-08 Thread GHOSH Suddhasattwa
Hello Wien2k users, 

 

If we take Li2O or CaO and react it with any rare earth chloride/actinide
chloride, say CeCl3/UCl3 at high temperature in argon in a chloride
environment (halide melt at 800 K), Li2O/CaO chemically reacts with UCl3 to
subsequently form UO2. This has been observed experimentally in molten salt
medium like halide melts at high temperature. 

 

I wish to do a DFT study for the reaction of Li2O with UCl3 to form UO2.
What will be the kinetics of oxidation of bulk UCl3 with small amounts of
Li2O. I would like to extend it to the interaction of O2 molecules with UCl3
and do a relative comparison. 

 

Can anybody suggest how to approach this problem in Wien2k.

 

Thank you 

Suddhasattwa

Re: [Wien] negative value of U in solids

2015-07-08 Thread Michael Sluydts

Hello Sandeep,

A negative value of U for instance occurs in Ge.

I was given this article before to explain this behavior:

http://www.sbfisica.org.br/bjp/files/v36_286.pdf

Note that the effective U = U-J.


Best regards,

Michael Sluydts

Dear users!
It may not be appropriate to post this question here,
Did any one encounter negative value of U in solids (compounds) ? if 
so explain its origin and quote related concepts. Kindly explain the 
origin and experimental supports if any?

[Wien] commlib error

2015-07-08 Thread Imran Khan
Dear wien2k experts and users,
I am using wien2k version 14.2 on a queuing system (SGE), with intel
compiler 11.1, MPI libraries mpi/openmpi-1.6.3 and math libraries
fftw-3.3.4. With these options I install Wien2K without any compile time
error.
The purpose of my calculation is to find the stable site for different
substituents in NdFeB intermetallics.
I am running the case.struct given in the attachment, using 200 (6 6 4)
k-points. My RKmax value is 7 and Gmax is 12, and I am using LDA+U method.
I am using the following command  runsp_lapw -p -orb -i 80 -ec 0.0001 -cc
0.001
Every time I submit my job after few scf cycles the job is terminated with
the following error in the error tag file.

error: commlib error: got select error (Connection reset by peer)
error: executing task of job 2424636 failed: failed sending task to
execd@tachyon1478: can't find connection

I have discussed this error with the engineers of that queuing system
(tachyon), and I have searched the mailing list as well but could not find
any solutions.
your guidance to solve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Imran
