[Pw_forum] Spin Polarization and Relaxation

2017-11-14 Thread Akmal Khan
Dear QE users and experts, The Final energy after relaxation with and without spin polarization is different.It is,a bit, on higher side with spin polarization. Do we need to include spin polarization during relaxation,? What is the best approach to proceed? Thank You. A

I want to investigate the behavior of the phosphorus spin. I know that three methods implemented in Espresso: 1. Spin-polarized calculations (nspin = 2) 2. noncollinear calculations (noncolin) 3. Spin-orbit calculations (lspinorb) In the first case, the electron spin is described. Dear colleagues,

I think order doesn't matter. It's a simple concept. If energy of individual atoms is more than the compound, the compound is more stable and vice-versa. On Nov 14, 2017 19:01, "Saif Ullah" wrote: > I'm not aware of the system under study, but if it is a new material, then > one should calculate

[Pw_forum] Typical "energy resolution" of QE

Dear experts, I am curious to which decimal a typical DFT calculation (more specifically PW Pseupotential based) is considered realistic. In other words, at which "DeltaE" are KS states inevitably degenerate? Thanks in advance for your help and time! Chris Ewha womans University, Seoul, Korea Q

I'm not aware of the system under study, but if it is a new material, then one should calculate phonons to check the stability. If the system is already synthesized and you are studying the effect of doping/adsorption, then binding/formation/cohesive/adsorption energy(ies) is(are) enough. Also, k

Dear Saif Ullah, The negative value of binding energy is not enough to predict stability? Why do we need phonon calculations for that? On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 2:37 PM, Saif Ullah wrote: > Dear, > > Ebin = Etot - ENi - EBi - 3EO > > Or depends on how you write. > > For stability, you need to calc

Dear, Ebin = Etot - ENi - EBi - 3EO Or depends on how you write. For stability, you need to calculate phonons. Regards Saif Dept. Physics, UFJF, Brazil On 14 Nov 2017 6:51 am, "Sudha Priyanka" wrote: > Can anyone suggest how to calculate binding energy of my crystal NaBiO3 by > using Quantum
