40 iterations is not much for a problem like this. I have no idea why your calculation went strange at the end of the first run, and I doubt that anyone can guess. Exactly. It looks quite reasonable until the big jumps in :ENE at the end. I'd either continue, or restart from scratch. You must

I am highly dubious of +U for 4f, as it dumps them low in many cases. I suggest using -eece and (if you must) runsp_c. You can also use runsp_c with +U if you want. -- Professor Laurence Marks Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University www.numis.northwestern.edu "Rese

Is there a way to artificially shift the 4s level somewhere? Of course I meant the 4f level. Sorry for the typo. Lukasz On 2023-02-20 12:19, pluto via Wien wrote: Dear All, I am calculating one of the Kagome materials. It includes a 4f element. I need non-magnetic bands, because my experim

Dear All, I am calculating one of the Kagome materials. It includes a 4f element. I need non-magnetic bands, because my experiments are made above the magnetic transition temperature. People typically use U around 6 eV on the 4f level for this material. I know that paramagnetic phase of local

Dear Prof. Marks, dear All, I am calculating a large slab of one of the 1T TMDC materials, 30 unique atoms (this makes it 20 tri-layers, i.e. 20 vdW layers). The slab of the same material of half size, 15 unique atoms (10 tri-layers) converged well. I am using TEMP 0.002 (first I tried with
