used H and Pt.pbe-mt_fhi.UPF recently and investigated work function (amongst other things) and I didn't encounter any problems: Controlled FCC/on-top binding of H/Pt(111) using surface stress http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apsusc.2016.03.173 With thanks Ian On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 4:57 PM, Heppl

[Pw_forum] Work function issues

2016-04-21 Thread Hepplestone, Steven
Dear all, I am having difficulties with calculating the work function of various metals (Au and Pt in particular) using the X.pbe-mt_fhi.UPF and X.pbe-n-nc.UPF pseudo potentials. Unlike in the example in WorkFct_example in PP I am regularly getting a positive Fermi energy and a vacuum level
