[Wien] Different GGA+U results for different wien2k versions

2018-07-29 Thread Chouaib AHMANI FERDI
 Greetings Wien2k users,

I have some results of a compound from Wien2k_16.1 a long time ago with
GGA+U
When I tried the same calculations on the sam compound with  VERSION_17.1 I
found different results.
for example : I had a Band GAP of 1.4 eV with GGA+U U=7eV in Version_16.1
while i have 3.8 eV with GGA+U U=7eV in Version_17.1, I noticed that this
value is close to VASP results on the same structure same U value and
slightly different parameters
This remark is valid for another compound where the Version_17.1 gives band
gap closer to VASP results for the same value of U

Another issue is that when I try to calculate the Density Of States, some
low energy bands (below 8 eV) do not show, (maybe they are not calculated)
while Version_16.1 they were shown

Could someone explain ?

Sincerely,


C.Ferdi

In your calculations what is the lower limit in case.in1 (at the bottom)?

Does case.output1* show lines with N > 0

 N EIGENVALUES BELOW THE ENERGY   -8.0

If so, the calculations were or are wrong (ghostbands).

Hi,

Did you start the calculation with VERSION_17.1 using the
files form the old calculation?

Re: [Wien] Optic program error for XMCD calculation of Fe3O4

2018-07-29 Thread Jose Maria Castillo
Dear Prof. Blaha and Gavin Abo

Thank you for all your help. The XMCD option is now working without
problems for Fe_bcc and Fe3O4.  However, it seems to me that there is
a small error in the procedure of the user's guide to obtain the XMCD
spectrum. In order to get the correct XMCD spectrum, it is necessary
to execute
x lapw2 -fermi -so  -up / -dn
instead of
x lapw2 -fermi -up / -dn

I did this for Fe-bcc and Fe3O4,  and the XMCD spectra are consistent
with those reported.

Best regards!

José María Castillo Robles.
