Re: [SIESTA-L] gnubands

dear saswata, gnubands comes with SIESTA, compile file gnubands.f in Utils directory. xmgrace is not a part of SIESTA, but a free program called grace, available from the web. it comes with many linux distros, I have it as a part of my Fedora. On 27/03/07, Saswata Bhattacharya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Vasilii FDF is an independent package on itself developed by Alberto Garcia and Jose M. Soler. If you take a look at the fdf directory within the Src dir of the siesta distribution, you'll get a feel of how to use it, with some sample fortran files. In addition you may want to check Util/SiestaS

Dear all, especially, the developers, Could someone briefly explain to me how to work with the FDF format? I'd like to use SIESTA as an external subroutine (I want to implement some simple form of metadynamics), and it seems a nice idea to make the driver program compatible with FDF. Best regard

2007-03-27 Thread Vasilii Artyukhov
If your system is not too large, I'd advise that you determine the relaxed lattice constants from a series of fixed-cell calculations, especially if the system is more or less symmetrical. Although your stresses seem quite low to me, I think that the only way to improve them might be, indeed, to l

Dear Yurko Natanzon, Thank you for your answers, but I'm afraid that it do not work. I have done some calculation as you said. The fdf and output files are attached. For test purpose, the precision of the calculation is very low and only 2 CG steps are performed. After relaxation, the position of

Dear Yong Liu, The symmetry is NOT included basically in SIESTA. In some simple cases you can use some tricks in which you can still conserve the symmetry during relaxation (using fixed fractional coordinates, etc). In your case these tricks may not work. What you can still do is to use th

Dear Yong Liu, As far as I understood you want to keep a=b!=c and angles 90, 90 ,90 after relaxation, don't you? Then you don't need any geometry constraints, just make variablecell=true calculations. To my experience, the angles will not change or change a little (in my case smth like 89.999). Th

Dear siesters, I'm thinking on increasing the accuracy of calculating elastic constants (i'm interested in shear ones but it doesn't matter). First I relax a lattice to get a stress tensor zero, and then make deformations to get a new stress tensor and calculate elastic constants. But in fact the
