Hi Michael,
Marcel is right about the cutoff, which might be your greatest problem. He
might also be right about the k-point sampling, but this you have to
determine by yourself.
A good starting guess for your mesh cutoff is to get the energy cutoff for
a plane-wave calculation (obviously using
Dear, Vasilii.
I think that you may try to create file (for example run) with the
command (Path to siesta)/siesta input.fdf and after that run a
command mpirun -np x -maxtime y (path to run)/run.
I seem to have a very strange problem with parallel SIESTA.
The make goes okay, but the
Dear Vasilii,
I think that stdin redirection under MPI is not defined in the
standard, and thus each implementation makes its own thing. In my case
(MPICH2 version 1.0.3) they only supported slow, low volume stdin input.
I had to give the input file as an argument instead of redirecting
Hi everyone,
I seem to have a very strange problem with parallel SIESTA. The make goes
okay, but the program does not read the input .fdf file. In fact, all it
does is output the out.fdf file that says:
fdf-debug 0 # Default value

Dear, Michael.
Hello SIESTA users
I am doing some calculations on BN(Boron Nitride) nanotube(5,5)
which is semiconductor. I am using 20 atoms with in GGA.
During the CG relaxation I found that the Nanotube structure is
converged to Ring shaped structure.
Please see the attached
Dear Michael,
did you check convergence of your mesh cutoff. Especially GGA needs
usually higher ones. (Even with LDA i would not go below 200 Ry)
And if you want to calculate the band structure, I would increase k-points
along z, as your unit cell is very small in z-direction (but not
Dear Oscar,
the input file looks good to me. And as far as I know, 1 atom for fcc is
ok.
You overspecified the k-grid. You either use k_grid cutoff or

With Variable Cell you choose to let Siesta relax the system.
Otherwise you could try and set NumCGSteps to 0 and vary
