Re: [Pw_forum] Problem with PAW vs. USP

Hello Giovanni, Thanks for your very helpful reply. For bulk Zr metal I got exactly the same energy as you did (-614.42000823 Ry). However, my PAW energy for the free atom is -304.20806979, which is considerably less negative than yours and explains my erroneous cohesive energy. The only a

It is really quite tricky to get the isolated atom energy right. You may have to use nosym=.true., to specify a small smearing, to force different magnetizations and even to specify manually the occupations. Even the same input can produce different result on different machine because of differe

Hello Lorenzo, Thank you for your comments. Yes, getting the free-atom energy right is tricky. Below is a sample input file that, when used with a USPP and not a PAW PP, gives the correct Zr free-atom energy. I say "correct" because the correct cohesive energy (i.e., very close to experime

It is possivble that one_atom_occupation does not work with PAW, I've never tried it. Or maybe it is failing because the orbitals are not in the order you expect. I hope to be able to have a look at it in the future, although it won't be very soon thank you for sharing your problem! On Wednesd

Indeed, just to give an example of the case under study (isolated Zr atom): hexagonal supercell ibrav=4, a=12, c=15 ATOMIC_POSITIONS {crystal} Zr0.0 0.0 0.0 produces 24 Sym. Ops., total energy -306.74916039 Ry and total magnetisation=2 cubic supercell ibrav=1, a=12 ATOMIC_POSITIONS {crystal}
