[Wien] crystal field splitting

2015-08-23 Thread Lan, Wangwei
Dear Wien2k user:


I am very new in WIEN2k. Now I am running case on our crystal system which 
contains a transition metal Cr. I am particularly interested in the d orbital 
splitting, the energy levels of 5 d orbitals. Does anyone know how to calculate 
the orbital splitting using WIEN2k?


I'v read several papers, they use wannier90 to calculate the on site energy, 
then interpret that on site energy difference as crystal field splitting. 
However, when I apply this method, I got controversy  results as our group 
theory analysis. I seriously doubt about this kind of interpretation, hope you 
can help me. Thanks very much.




Sincerely

Wangwei Lan

Wangwei,

The answer is not simple and there can be more than one opinion living
around. Let me express mu 0.02 euros.

Crystal field splitting parameters (delta-D, i.e. t2g-eg splitting, Racah
parameters, etc) is by fitting a model to the theoretical or experimental
true calculations of total energy diferences between correlated
electronic states. In other terms, there are no such a thing as
orbital splitting as a well defined element. The orbital approach is
a interpretative description, not a physical definition.

There are decades that I not contribute to this old subject and I
reccomend you to follow the more recent papers by Profs. Luis Seijo and
Zoila Barandiarán, from the UAM (Universidad Aotónoma de Madrid).
You will find in their work a good description of old and modern
treatments, laike MOLCAS calculations, relativity contributions, and
the huge importance of large correlation treatments. Both contribute
to the development of MOLCAS.

http://www.uam.es/personal_pdi/ciencias/lseijo/
http://www.uam.es/personal_pdi/ciencias/yara/

Notice that the field emerged from dealing with impurities within
crystals, so most of the evolution that I learned was releted to
the moleculartreatment of embedded impurities neighborhoods.

On a solid state perspective, and your mention of wannier functions
lets me thing you may prefer that, notice that d-d, d-s and d-p
transitions correspond to heavily correlated problems, and the wave
funcion perspective has a much longer tradition than TD-DFT ones,
but let me just say that I know less abiout them. The conferences
by  Stefano Baroni on the calculation of the color of natural dies
are simple awesome.

[Wien] 'libfftw3_mpi.so.3' is not found

Dear Wien2k users,

Recently, I have installed Wien2K_13.1 program in my SMP, having 12
threads. I have run serial calculations without giving an error with this
PC. Now, I want to implement parallel calculations and installed
'fftw-3.3.4', 'l_mpi_p_5.1.0.038' and 'openmpi-1.8.8'. Although, the
re-installation of Wien2k with parallel option does not give any errors, I
am getting error while running lapw0_mpi (in volume optimization
process). These errors are

Re: [Wien] f orbital under an external magnetic field

Dear Bin Shao,

we routinely calculate rare-earth magnetism in oxides and fluorides 
using combination of WIEN2k, Wannier90 and atomic-like program. Attached 
is our latest paper submitted to J. Rare Earth on RE Kramers ions in 
garnets.

 comment by P.Blaha:
paper too big for the mailing list ! You can find the paper at 
http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/unsupported/ at the CFP section.

#
The method can also be applied to RE intermetalics, though there we have 
much less experience. Let me know if you are interested.


Pavel

 Dear Martin Pieper,

 Thank you for your reply.

 Actually, the energy difference can be observed by the photoluminescence
 experiment. I want to make a demonstration for the experiment from
 first-principles calculation.

 May I just ask why you go for the energy and not for the magnetization or
 the susceptibility?


 I don't know how to calculate the susceptibility of a material from
 first-principles calculation. According to the definition, it is a
 constant
 indicates the response of a material to an external magnetic field. I 
have

 got the magnetic moments for a give field, then how to get the
 susceptibility? Besides, I think the magnetic moments are almost the same
 as 4T when I changed the magnitude of the magnetic field.

   If there is some change of the crystal field ground state this should
 show.


 Do you mean that the magnetic filed may be change the crystal field? I am
 not quite sure how to connect these two things, the magnetic field and
 crystal field.

 Best,

 Bin
