Dear Mustafa, Thank you for the comment. I will check both options. I imagine with tungsten maybe large cells are needed. My main concern was since the same converges easily if I use Fe in place of W. Regards Tejas From: users On Behalf Of Mostafa Youssef via users Sent: Saturday, January 9, 2

Re: [QE-users] mechanical stability under pressure from phonons

2021-01-11 Thread Nicola Marzari
I think what Grimvall is saying is that there has been no rigorous discussion before, but in their review they make this discussion, and show how the stability condition for phonons does not need any correction - the material collapses at the pressure where the phonon dispersions calculated a

Dear Mohammed I've found 3.9 eV for Mn (with PAW PP) a few years ago for a very similar layered Mn oxide, and applied the same value to Mn(IV) in monoclinic Ca2Mn3O8 (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 10254, see SI). This said, if you want to have a better Eg you must apply the U correction al

I have calculated the cell parameters and band-gap energy by GGA and GGA+U for CaMnO3 materiels (orthorhombic structure ). I tried two U values, one from the literature (U1=4.18 eV) and I have calculated the other one by the first principal method with the quantum espresso package (U2=5.7722

[QE-users] mechanical stability under pressure from phonons

2021-01-11 Thread Uri Argaman
Hi all In the literature the mechanical stability condition using elastic constants includes explicitly the pressure: In cubic symmetry, for example: C11 + 2*C12 +P>0; C44 +P>0; C11 + C12 + 2*P>0; from: Grimvall et al. REVIEWS OF MODERN PHYSICS, VOLUME 84, 2012 In this paper, they write: " There s
