[Pw_forum] The choice of Acoustic Sum Rule for crystal

2007-01-16 Thread naivebamboo Huang
Dear Matteo, Thanks very much. Yes, they are fractional coordinates of one Te atom (Te1 atom), that is, atomic position in the unit cell. I am sorry for the confusion. What I mean is that the energies of the two positions seems to change little comparing to their position change. The lattice

Dear Baoling, I probably missed the point in the previous email. You probably meant that you are considering two different atomic positions for Te atoms along one direction at least. You are finding very close energies for the two positions, but they seem to be close too (depends on the cell pa

Dear Peter, If you have to deal with large systems in a supercell sampled only at the gamma point, you could perform ionic relaxation using the CPV code cp.x. For this task you should peform a damped molecular dynamics, using either a Car-Parrinello or a Born-Oppenheimer scheme, (the latter should

Dear PW users, I read some of the codes from PW to determine the Fermi energy - namely sumkg,efermig and other related ones. I can't understand something here. In function sumkg(et,nbnd,nks,wk,degauss,ngauss,e,is,isk), the parameter 'isk' could be 1 or 2 to determine the spin components: 1 for up
