[Pw_forum] Relaxation of impurity in bulk materials

2011-06-09 Thread Sanda Botis
Hi, Why not do a complete relaxation (no atoms fixed) and compare it with a partial relaxation (allow to relax only several atoms around your defect). Assuming that you have some experimental data to compare with, you will find out which calculation is better suited for describing a particular typ

[Pw_forum] Crystal for XCrySDen

2010-03-11 Thread Sanda Botis
You don't need Crystal if you want just to view crystal structures on XCrySDen. You can create in XCrySDen the structures that you want to view.I believe that there are a few tutorials on XCrysDen webpage on how to do this. And if you really need Crystal for calculations on crystal structures, the

I agree that is probably an effect of the supercell size. How big is the supercell that you are using? Cheers, Sanda On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 8:47 AM, Duy Le wrote: > if the defect concentration is too hight, when you do vc-relax the lattice > parameter will be re-optimized. In reality, the defe

[Pw_forum] paramagnetic defects in solids

2009-02-26 Thread Sanda Botis
Hi everyone, I would like to know if anyone has experience working on paramagnetic defects in solids and using QE. I know that the 4.0 version is supposed to be able to calculate g-tensors and hyperfine constants but I am not sure how well it works for solids and how computationally demanding this
