[Wien] Questions on the quantitative understanding of DOS and partial DOS

2012-03-22 Thread J. K. Balamurugan
Dear WIEN2k developers and users,

I have some problem in quantitative understanding the DOS and partial DOS
plots/data. I post the question with a case assumption of room temperature
(RT) structure of BaTiO3. As it is well known BaTiO3 has tetragonal
structure at RT. Now, Ba and Ti has one site and O has two sites. If the
DOS  partial DOS are calculated for BaTiO3, I will get total DOS for the
unit cell which contains one formula unit of BaTiO3. I will also get
partial DOS of Ba, Ti and O1 and O2 (in terms of total and from individual
orbital contribution like s, p and d whichever are applicable.) Here are my
questions:

1. Will the sum of total DOS individual atoms [i.e., total DOS of (Ba + Ti
+ O1 + O2)] be exactly equal to total DOS of the unit cell? If the answer
is No, why?

2. Will the total DOS of any specific atom, say Ti, will be exactly equal
to the sum of orbital contributions [i.e., partial DOS of (Ti-s + Ti-p +
Ti-d)]?  If the answer is No, why?

Another related question: Let us assume a hypothetical structure where in I
have two formula units of BaTiO3 in a unit cell. That is the unit cell has
Ba2Ti2O6. Now the question is the following:
3. Should I need to multiply 2 to the total DOS of individual atoms {i.e.,
2*[total DOS of (Ba + Ti + O1 + O2)]} to get the total DOS of the unit cell
with two formula unit? Will this sum be exactly equal to the actual total
DOS of the unit cell which we get as it is from the calculations?

Please explain me to clear these my questions. I wish also to get into
reading any material/user guide/article/document which could help me to
have a complete understanding on this issue.

Thanks.

With kind regards,
K. Balamurugan.

Dear Lee and David,

Thanks for your quick answers. They were really helpful to me. I wish I

 No, the interstitial states contribution is missing. Only the area inside
 the muffin tin is included in the partial DOS.


 2. Will the total DOS of any specific atom, say Ti, will be exactly equal
 to the sum of orbital contributions [i.e., partial DOS of (Ti-s + Ti-p +
 Ti-d)]?  If the answer is No, why?

 Yes, but I think even further depending on how many l-values are in the
 basis set.


 Another related question: Let us assume a hypothetical structure where in

 has Ba2Ti2O6. Now the question is the following:

 Yes. Then no not total DOS of cell, see point 1.

[Wien] Missing data in DOS plot data file

2011-11-28 Thread J. K. Balamurugan
Dear Prof. Blaha,

I am sorry that still I am with the same problem.

I do not find any  in the qtl file. I also tried with the qtl program
to generate case.qtlup/dn. I could not get rid of the problem of missing
data points.

Additionally, I tried with calculating the same for another similar
compound. The same problem came with little difference/improvement came up:
the DOS for spin up electrons are fine but for spin down electrons the data
are missing in the data file while the picture showed no problem! I tried
change the energy range of my calculation; I tried in the number of partial
DOS (of different atoms) in the DOS calculation. Every time I did, NaN
comes in the energy range 1.97692  to  2.30346 eV for the spin down
electrons - even though the plot is free from this problem (please see the
attached picture). Note that this time the data are missing above the Fermi
level.

I tried many repetition and approaches and now I am tired! Was this could
be the problem with the memory usage since we in our group three scholars
calculate using the same machine simultaneously?

 Thanks for the suggestions. There is no NaN in either case.qtlup/dn file.
 I could find full data plot when the total DOS for spin down electrons
 alone is selected in the Edit input-file for TETRA menu. The problem of
 missing data persists if I select
 the partial DOS of different atoms and orbitals in the system. But, for
 me it is necessary to resolve the partial DOS.

Dear Wien2k developers and users,

I am using Wien2k 11.1 version for calculating band structure thee

 in the DOS plots and in the
DOS data
file a portion of data is missing! I use PBE-GGA functional with
 1000 k-points and RKmax = 8 for my calculations. The structure is
 non-centrosymmetric. In the case of a
non-magnetic quaternary semiconducting sulfide, I got the DOS plot
 and data wherein some portion of graph and data were missing. I
 recalculated the DOS and found the same
problem.
I repeated the whole calculation in another folder/experiment
 starting from structure generation, initialization etc, yet the problem
 persists. After that I left that work
as it
is - uncompleted!

Following the above I calculated another magnetic system in which
 Fe is the magnetic element with same structure and I got everything fine.
 Full DOS data and plot I got.
But, when
I continued the same method for a third compound with the same
 structure I got that problem again. DOS of spin up electrons' plot and
 graph are perfectly OK. But, for spin
down
electrons I got the same problem that some portion of data are
 missing.

I have attached a picture file (*png format). Please view and note
 that in energy range -0.38355 eV to -0.05701 eV, in the pictures there is
 no graph-line showing the DOS and
correspondingly the letters NaN instead of numbers appear in the
 data file. (I am not able to send the data file as the file size bigger

[Wien] Symmetry pts in Brillouin zone

 Yes, w2web reads the crystal lattice (P, B, F, H) and takes automatically

 However, w2web does not take into account the spacegroup (symmetry) and
 cannot distinguish between eg. a cubic P and a tetragonal P lattice,
 but uses always the same template (for a cubic case).
 While in this way it will not make anything wrong, but your bandstructure
 will eventually be shown not in (all) interesting directions.

 My doubt now is that whether it is OK if I click on the Create

 _Please read the below if you need more inputs regarding my calculations

 For example: I made a calculation for CuFeS2 chalcopyrite (tetragonal

 assumption that the compund is
 (i) non-magnetic/paramagnetic, (ii) ferromagnetic with Fe moments up, and
 (iii) antiferromagnetic with 50% Fe moments up and 50% down. In the case (i)
 and (ii) the band

 Gamma, Lamda and P. This is the same sequence which is coming for any
 compound with same tetragonal
 I-42d sturture; I have done such calculations for another 2 more
 compounds. In case (iii) in order to implement the antiferromagnetism I
 represented the crystal data using
 P1 space group since in I-42d Fe has only one set of fractional
 coordinates. This changed the shape and symmetry of the BZ which I was able
 to view in XCrysDen while
 beginning my calculations. Unfortunately, XCrysDen did not run while I
 calculate the band structure. So I used the Create case.klist_band button
 without selecting any

 Gamma, Delta, X, Z, M, Sigma, Gamma. (This points with same sequence came in
 the band structure
 of another compound of the type of formula A2BCD4 which actually has
 monoclinic structure - Pn space group.) Therefore, I concluded that Wien2k

[Wien] Symmetry pts in Brillouin zone

2011-09-14 Thread J. K. Balamurugan
Dear Wien2k developers and users,

I need to know one small information: on what basis the sequences of high
symmetry points of the Brillouin zones are chosen? I know that XCrysDen
would help to choose any sequence we like; but, there often times in our
system XCrysDen does not run! In such situations we use the  Brillouinzones
from Bilbao Cryst
Serverhttp://www.cryst.ehu.es/cgi-bin/cryst/programs/nph-table?from=kv
option.
This one automatically sets the sequence. I like to have more understanding
about how this is done. Please let me know any refence papers or we pages
which could give me more inputs to understand this.

Literature have many different schemes, but I do not know what is used in
Wien2k 11.1

Thanks.
