Re: [Wien] structeditor for creating a surface

Hello Madhav, The thickness of the slab will vary depending on the interplanar distance for that surface. Usually you can do this more accurately by using an expression based on the bulk lattice constants. For instance: bulk = loadstruct(...) surface = makesurface(bulk,1,bulk.a(3)/2,20.0) wh

Exactly like this. And then: "look" at your structure (xcrysden or VESTA or ..), "count" the number of generated layers, check if all atoms are there, . On 06/27/2013 09:18 AM, Michael Sluydts wrote: Hello Madhav, The thickness of the slab will vary depending on the interplanar distance

Dear Dr. Blaha, Thanks for your consideration and reply, Yes, I'm calculating the band structure of some topological half-heuslers that as far as I know for them RKmax=9 (at least) is needed. Do you think is there any other way for removing the error instead of reducing RKmax? regards --Saba __

If you are claiming you can run with RKmax 8, but not with 9, there are only 2 ways: used only RKmax=8 set the sphere sizes better. But without details nobody can help. PS: Who says that for the bandstructure of topological half-heuslers RKmax=9 is needed ??? Rkmax is a function of the typ

[Wien] kgen issue in 13.1

2013-06-27 Thread Stefaan Cottenier
I notice that the new wien2k 13.1 spends a lot of time (=up to 1 minute) in kgen. This appears to be due to a large fort.10 file that is written by create_filehf.f in SRC_kgen (it is 40 Mb for a simple test case). This fort.10 file is not present when wien2k 12.1 is used. Is this the desired

This should happen only if you specifyx kgen -hf However, checking the source I found that "createhf" is not set to .false. as a default and since we changed an "if" statement from .eq. to .eqv., it might be that it leads to this behavior on some computers (not on mine with latest ifor
