Re: [Wien] UNPHYSICAL RMT of atom

2017-02-01 Thread Peter Blaha
I guess it was explained some time ago. Anatase has SG 141, and this SG 
has "2 settings". Wien2k requires the 2nd (default) setting with an 
inversion center at the origin of the cell, but not the ITA setting (see 
the Bilbao crystallographic server).


You may need to convert your positions to this setting or use the route 
via cif or xyz formats (mind possible rounding problems !).

Dear Wien2k user,

I want to compute the electronic properties of TiO2 anatase phase so in

a=b=3.7A and c=9.7A
after doing the process of rmt reduction i found the rmt vales are
Ti=1.38
O=1.24
sum of NN distance is 2.63647 which is close to sum of rmt value.
i also searched in your mailing but same problem found by some other
users but i could not find the proper solution.

I have seen the .struct file in VESTA which is looking fine as per my
knowledge.

So please suggest me where i did wrong in calculation.

The number of k-points depends on your structure. Please have a look at

Re: [Wien] Need help to set k-points

2017-02-01 Thread Xavier Rocquefelte
One of the best approach is to do a SCF calculation for a small number 
of k-points and then increase gradually this number.


Then you plot the total energy as a function of the number of k-points 
and you will choose the smallest number giving rise to a good convergency.


Ideally you should do such calculations as soon as you have a new system 
to insure that your k-point mesh is OK.


I should add that the mesh will also depend on the property you are 
looking for.

Xavier

Re: [Wien] ReSi2 - semi-core states are missing from DOS

2017-02-01 Thread Peter Blaha

a) Missing DOS of core states:
You calculate the DOS on an E-grid with a spacing of 3 mRy. Your core 
states have such a small band dispersion (eg. just one 1mRy, but 
sometimes even below; check the band ranges), and their energies fall 
BETWEEN your DOS E-grid, so on your grid there is really no DOS. In 
case.outputt you should see that at the expected energies, the 
"integreated DOS" increases from one energy mesh to the next by 2, 6 or 
even 14 electrons, although the DOS at these energies is always zero.


In essence: It is meaningless to "plot a DOS" of these localized states, 
as it would corresponds to almost a delta-peak at a particular energy.
Also note, that in DFT the energy of a core level has really no 
particular meaning anyway and will be far from any measurement (10 % 
error in E-position)


b) XPS of 4f core states:
I would strongly recommend to put these states into the core. This can 
be done conveniently during init_lapw in lstart, by not using an Energy 
criterium (like -6 or -8 Ry), but a "localization criterium" like 0.999 
. If you check the localization of the 4f states during lstart, you will 
see that nearly everything is within the atomic sphere.
The advantage of this core treatment is 2-fold: spin-orbit coupling is 
included nearly exactly (and not approximative in lapwso); and a 
"half-core hole" calculation based on Slaters transition state theory 
should even give you fairly accurate absolute energies.
Remember: the core states are recalculated in the modified crystal 
potential, so the effect of charge transfer, ... is covered. A direct 
hybridization with other states is anyway zero (as you can see from your 
band width when you put them as semicore state) and there is no need to 
allow for it in principle (but spoiling the much more important 
spin-orbit coupling). It is in general NOT true that inclusion of more 
core states increases the "accuracy"

Dear WIEN2k users,

I recently started studying ReSi2 and was immediately puzzled while
doing basic SCF and DOS calculations.

The structure file is attached, RMT of Re is 2.2, RMT of Si is 2.03.

Initialization was done with the following parameters:
init_lapw -b -vxc 5 -ecut -8 -rkmax 8 -numk 1000 -sp

Checking the output (also attached) I can see that:
For Re
States 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 3d, 4s, 4p, 4d are treated as core states
States 5s, 5p, 4f may be considered as semi-core states (energy range:
-6.29…-3 Ry)
States 5d, 6s are considered as valence states
For Si:
States 1s, 2s are treated as core states
States 2p may be considered as semi-core states (energy around: -7 Ry)
States 3s, 3p are considered as valence states

After Running SCF calculations with:
runsp_lapw -p -ec 0.1 -cc 0.0001 -NI
and calculating DOS, I found out that I do not see 4f of Re (which I
expect to be at -40 eV as a huge peak), 5s of Re (-80 eV), or 2p of Si
(-90 eV) at all (!!!) Please see attached the figures of DOS. (I also
attach int-file to make sure that I did want DOS starting from -10.5 Ry)

I am really puzzled with this and will be grateful for any
comments/suggestions.

P.S. My ultimate goal is to calculate XPS spectra to be able to see
4f7/2 and 4f5/2 splitting. I guess for this I will have to introduce a
hole (?) in a semi-core state. I know how to do that in a core-state but
I am not sure how to do that for a semi-core. Any comments/suggestions
on this matter will be received with much appreciation as well.

Thank you in advance for your help,
Yevgen Melikhov.

Re: [Wien] my membership to the mailing list gets disabled every 3 weeks

2017-02-01 Thread Peter Blaha
Thanks for the information. I browsed through it and found the two 
possible options in the mailman config, where one can either "mung" or 
"wrap" the from-headers to circumvent the DMARC Policiy.


However, both methods have documented drawbacks, and I'm a bit afraid 
that by changing this setting, it may remove the unsubscribe problem for 
some of you, but on the other hand, some others will not see the mails 
at all or not in proper form ?


At the moment I'm monitoring the bounces and I've also increased the 
bounce level, so that unsubscribing should not happen so often (or a 
bounce reset will happen in between. After removing all "user not known" 
bounces, so far I get only one bounce, probably from an 
"Autoreply"-setting of this mail client ?? (I've informed this user in 
private).


If this does not help on the long run, I'll consider to use one of these 
problematic??? fixes, but as I said, after switching on the monitoring, 
there was no bounce for one of the addresses reporting frequent 
unsubscription.

Peter Blaha
