[Wien] Ionic versus covalent systems

2008-03-18 Thread Peter Blaha
Make sure the Na sphere is not too big ! Eventually, use the same sphere as for Nb. Otherwise use "defaults". Such simple system should converge very easily. jadhikari at clarku.edu schrieb: > Dear Wien2k users, > > Thank you very much for the suggestion for my question on ionic versus > covalent

Dear Wien2k users, Thank you very much for the suggestion for my question on ionic versus covalent systems. I have tried with mixing parameter of 0.1 most of the time and changed it to 0.05 or 0.2 or 0.25 or 0.4 when things do not work. As for example, NaNbO3- 1. Most of the time I get ghost ban

Dear Subin, You can change the parameter in case.inm from the default 0.40 to 0.01, as suggested by the user's guide. This works for spinel ferrites. Good Luck, Xu Zuo On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 6:08 AM, wrote: > Dear Wien2k users, > > I did calculations of compounds containing "Calcium ions" a

Not 0.01, change to 0.1 -- 0.4 is too large anyway in most cases. On Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 7:28 PM, Xu Zuo wrote: > Dear Subin, > > You can change the parameter in case.inm from the default 0.40 to 0.01, as > suggested by the user's guide. This works for spinel ferrites. > > Good Luck, > > Xu Zuo

Dear Subin Adhikari, Just a general idea: more the system is ionic more the dispersion of the band structure will be flat. In some cases the flat character of the band structure may lead to mixing problems due to charge oscillations from one cycle to another. Usually one solution when you are fa

Dear Wien2k users, I did calculations of compounds containing "Calcium ions" and it was extremely tough to get the converged results. The calculations of similar compounds, replacing Calcium with "Lead ions" was extremely easy and of course superbly fast. All that was done was "Ca" replacex with "
