[Pw_forum] Interpretation of vc-relax / pi-pi-stack

2011-08-02 Thread Kolb, Brian
Hi Guntram, In general, the results of an optimization will differ from experiment. This is especially true with vdW-DF, which has been shown to give binding distances that are too large in general. That being said, I agree that the difference between your computed result and experiment seems exc

[Pw_forum] vdw-df2

2011-07-27 Thread Kolb, Brian
The revised PBE that should (perhaps) be used with vdW-DF is for exchange only. The vdW-DF functional is strictly a correlation functional. So what you really want is SLA (local exchange piece) PW (local correlation piece) RPB (semi-local exchange piece) and VDW (non-local correlation piece). If

[Pw_forum] electric field in a hexagonal cell

2010-01-29 Thread Kolb, Brian
Hello, I am trying to do a finite electric field calculation (lelfield = .true.) in PWscf 4.1.1. My system is hexagonal ice Ih. Does anyone know if there are any issues with running electric field calculations in hexagonal systems? My numbers don't seem to be coming out right and I have noticed
