[Pw_forum] Fw: defect formation energy

2009-09-18 Thread marsa...@democritos.it
I think that calculations relaxing the volume should give defect formation enthalpy. But I always saw people fixing the defective cell to its original volume, as in general one is interested in low defect concentration and the elastic field created by the defect is larger than the simulation ce

Dear Ali, a positive formation energy means that it cost energy to create the defect. A negative one means that the system lower its energy by forming defects --> it will spontaneously form defects. layla Quoting ali kazempour : > > > Ali Kazempour > > Physics department, Isfahan University o

2009-09-18 Thread Michael Sullivan
Haowei: I usually just use Google and start the search with pwscf and whatever I want to search on. If you want, you can also start your search with pw_forum site:democritos.it For example you could put this into Google: site:democritos.it diagonalization failed -OR- pwscf diagonalization faile

2009-09-18 Thread Gabriele Sclauzero
Dear Haowei Peng, in my experience this error may happen with GGA functionals when you push the scf threshold very low (let's say conv_thr below 10^(-10) ). Since you're hiding some relevant information of your input file (such as PP files, atomic coordinates and k-points) I cannot be su
