Pseudopotentials depend on the original functional and not on the "+U" value. You can find several peudopotentials here http://charter.cnf.cornell.edu/dd_search.php?frmxcprox=&frmxctype=&frmspclass=TM or here (for GGA pseudopotentials) http://departments.icmab.es/leem/siesta/Databases/Pseudopotenti

Sir I am doing calculations using LDA not GGA.same pseudo potential work with only lda but when I doing calculations using lda+u it shows error. On 16 Mar 2015 12:43, wrote: > Pseudopotentials depend on the original functional and not on the "+U" > value. You can find several peudopotentials here

I believe the error is not owed to the pseudopotential. Maybe you should try to see if it works using the serial and not the parallel version. > Sir > I am doing calculations using LDA not GGA.same pseudo potential work with > only lda but when I doing calculations using lda+u it shows error. > O

Sir I tried it in both serial mode and parallel mode using simple LDA. But lda+u by using only serial mode.but in this case it is not work for Mn.but work for Cr. On 16 Mar 2015 13:04, wrote: > I believe the error is not owed to the pseudopotential. Maybe you should > try to see if it works

Hi Barnali your structures are different from one another. In your unit cell structure C-C bond is 1.56 Ang, while in your 2x2 supercell the C-C bond is 1.42 Ang. You need to relax the structure correctly first (together with the lattice vectors), then the two bands should be the same. Good luc

Hi, The band structure of 2x2 supercell is definitely different from that of 1x1 unit cell. In the supercell case, band structure is folded. Please have a look at the article "EPL, 107 (2014) 27006" (http://iopscience.iop.org/0295-5075/107/2/27006) Best regards,Bing From: argo.nurbaw...@gmail.

[SIESTA-L] generating psp of La

2015-03-16 Thread BingHuang
Dear siesta users, i'd like to generate psp of La with 5s & 5p electrons as valence for the purpose of a more accurate description of its electronic structure. That means that i have to specify at least 5 cutoff radius (i.e., 6s, 6p, 5s, 5p and 5d), however, i found it impossible to specify more

Dear BingHuang, Argo, Thank you for your quick response. We know that the physical features of the bands should be same for both unit cell and supercell. But for a semiconductor, I have found that, the bandgap shifted from M point to Gamma point when we consider 2*2 supercell (but the band
