Re: [Wien] How to include the localized d orbitals in the atomic spheres?

Either the language is wrong or your Question/Conclusion is wrong I suggest to read and understand -- besides the Wien2k manual -- also some basic textbooks on the subject, for example Richard Martin, Electronic structure, Cambridge Jürgen Kübler, Theory of itinerant electron

I hope you agree that Pt is paramagnetic I did two calculations for Pt, one was spin polarized the other not. The results are identical, no resulting magnetic moment (indeed, I started with one in the spin polarized case), did I play a trick or did Wien2k play a trick ? but may be Wien2k can not

Dear wien users The orbital potential in DFT+U and EECE for localized orbitals will be included only inside the atomic spheres . To include these localized orbitals, we need a value for energy cut off larger than -6 Ry (maybe -2 Ry ). Is it the only way to include the localized orbitals in the a

Dear Bhamu In the present case, you are dealing with Ag+ ions and thus a d10 electronic configuration for silver. In such a case applying a Hubbard correction will mainly lead to correct the position of the Ag(4d) states which are all occupied and below the O(2p) band. It should not affect s

Dear experts I did a calculation for hexagonal AgAlO2 and found that if I do first PBE+U and then apply mBJ+ U, it give smart band gap value which is very close to experimental band gap. But I do not know whether we can apply this U twice or not. The DFT+U calculation underestimates and only mBJ s

Thank you All for your contributions to enrich the subject . >From the beginning, I was convinced with the statement of prof Blaha, But when you find in literature some work where they simulate the paramagnetic state by the non-spin-polarized calculation this causes a troube. On this base, I need

Just to add one more point to this funny discussion, the term "paramagnetic" is sometimes used in the DFT litterature in an improper way. It could clearly lead to misunderstanding for researchers who do not know so much on how magnetic properties could evolve with temperature and applied magne

How do you distinguish a diamagnetic, a paramagnetic, a ferromagnetic, and an antiferromagnetic state. Think ! This will answer your question, hopefully. Ciao Gerhard DEEP THOUGHT in D. Adams; Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: "I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you have

In the paramagnetic state, as Prof. Blaha says, the atoms still have magnetic moments but they are randomly oriented. This arises when the thermal energy is sufficient to overcome the spin-spin coupling. I would expect a calculation on Gd at 0K to give you a ferromagnetic state with very small s
