Re: [SIESTA-L] Problem on using OrderN SolutionMethod for MD relaxation

2006-11-30 Thread Vasilii Artyukhov
Right now I'm trying to deal with the same problem using another order-N code, OpenMX. It does not have many advantages over SIESTA (and in fact, has certain strong disadvantages), but it has that Kerker density mixing scheme in the SCF which allows (in theory) to deal with zero-gap systems. The S

If I want to do some calculations for something adsorbed on the metal surface, do you mean that it is impossible for me to use the OrderN method? That's right. Although, 100 atoms is not that much and you won't see big difference in calculation time by OrderN vs. Diagonalization.

What is your system? This might be due to very small (or 0) bandgap. OrderN method works only for big bandgaps.

[SIESTA-L] Problem on using OrderN SolutionMethod for MD relaxation

2006-11-08 Thread Jiang, Tao
Hi, I'm using SolutionMethod OrderN to run MD relaxation on a system with more than 100 atoms in the unit cell. I always get error in just the first iscf, "iscf = 1". Part of errors are attached below: cgwf: iter = 16 grad =-506.571784 Eb(Ry) = -96.791642 cgwf: iter
