[Pw_forum] Convergence Test

2016-07-25 Thread Mofrad, Amir Mehdi (MU-Student)
Dear all, I want to do some calculations on zeolites (mostly consist of Si, Al, and O). So far I have realized that the right choice of cutoff, K_POINTS, and pseudopotential should be done in order to do so. I have two questions here: 1. Are there more parameters than these three to adjust?

List users, I'm testing convergence on ecutwfc for chromite using USPP. Below are results of different ecutrho with different ecutwfc. I may be wrong, I think I should watch the difference of total energy between successive runs till it's less than 1-2 mRy. But the trend is not apparent in the res

hello,When I make a convergence tests for a unit cell ( lattice parameter, ecutwfc, and k-points), then built a supercell out of the unit cell. in that case do i need to do convergence tests for lattice vector and ecutwfc beside reducing the k points along the periodic direction? Regards,Jaret__

Dear all I did convergence tests for chromium. The ecut value i obtained for energy converged to 1mRyd is 60Ryd! which i believe is very high for an Ultra Soft PP can somebody tell me if i am doing something wrong. Given below are my sample input file and ecut vs total energy. &control calculation

Hi Lorenzo, I did exactly what you said and I got the same convergence chart on both tests... I'm working with g-alumina and ultrasoft pp... My first convergence test suggested an ecutwfc value between 50Ry-70Ry... Then I used ecutrho = 280Ry for the second test... It means that I can use ecutrho =

Hi, The USPP which includes sp semicore could lead you to that such ecut if it is not a very good PP. Ecutrho should be about 10-14*ecut and you should also make sure that the k-point sampling is good enough. Good luck. On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 2:15 PM, Ary Junior wrote: > Hi Lorenzo, I did exact

Hello all, For the phonon dispersion calculation, I've done the convergence test by 'vc_relax' calculation and re-assigned the lattice parameters (celldm(1), celldm(4), conv_thr, and ATOMIC_POSITIONS). However, my phonon dispersion still behave a bit weird (negative acoustic frequency, LO-TO split

Dear Yangchuan Li, In principle the values of cut-off are fully transferable, for the same kind of pseudo potential: As the highest Fourier components are required due to more localised (ie fastly varying) electronic wave functions close to the nuclei and there the changes going from one ch

Dear Mondol Anik Kumar, 1) It depends on which quantities you mean hear: The ecutwfc (and ecutrho, if using Vanderbilt/USPP or PAW) are universal so long as you have not added or changed new pseudo potentials/PAW data sets; k points, one can in general estimate the spacing (in reci-procal sp
