Dear Navaratnarajah Kuganathan, I would like to tell you that you can check the reliability of your results, comparing the results of calculations with different input parameters. As you know, good pseudopotentials should be smooth enough in the core region for all angular momentum channels,

Dear Khairul Alam To obtain the band structure of a system you have to specify the points of high symmetry in BZ and the number of points (i.e., 20 as in the following example) along the corresponding directions of BZ in the k-space. For example: BandLinesScale ReciprocalLatticeVectors %blo

[SIESTA-L] Orbitals occupation

2005-07-14 Thread Ivetta Slipukhina
Dear SIESTA users, I would like to ask whether it is possible to calculate energies of intraceneter transitions between impurity levels, calculating differences between formation (or total) energies of the supercell with different occupation of defect orbitals of the impurity in a given charge st

[SIESTA-L] Problem during geometry optimization

Dear Riccardo Ruali, thank you very much for the answer! I'm glad that it is possible, because anyway, I need only structural properties of the system with charged defects. Thank you very much for your advise! Best regards, Ivetta

Dear SIESTA users, could anybody kindely shear with the information how to properly obtain Mulliken charges and Mulliken orbital populations using SIESTA code? How strong is the influense of PAO basis EnergyShift parameter value or the quality of constructed pseudopotential on Mulliken charges

[SIESTA-L] Treating charged defects

2005-06-08 Thread Ivetta Slipukhina
Dear SIESTA users, I'm trying to investigate influence of Ni substitutional impurity on electronic properties of strongly anisotropic semiconducting ferroelectric crystal SbSI with orthorhombic symmetry. In my investigations I substitute one Sb atom (which behaves in the host crystal like Sb 3+ i
