[Wien] QTL-B and "Eigenvalues Below..."

2008-08-15 Thread Peter Blaha
Dear Stefaan, I ran your case (exactly your input files) and had NO problems at all. The case converges quickly and smoothly. One possibility: You have a memory error on one of your nodes ? Run a memory check utility and verify if the ghostbands occur always on the same node(s). Peter :ENE : *

Seems to be a difficult and strange situation. I've met that before only one a very few cases. I'm NOT surprised that the problems happen only for a certain k-point, that was also in my cases. Definitely the -in1new case needs some changed eseper-parameters (in2c), so that it does not separate sc

Dear wien2k community, I want to come back to this thread, as I did not yet succeed to identify what is really going on. To summarize the original problem: a crash in lapw2 for impurities in Ge, with very large (actually **) QTL-B warnings and (sometimes) "Eigenvalues below" warnings in t

please consider it as a speculation: I guess you are using GGA for your calculations. It may make sense to check whether such problem appears within LDA or not. Javad Hashemifar On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 9:19 AM, Stefaan Cottenier < Stefaan.Cottenier at fys.kuleuven.be> wrote: > > Hello again, >

Hello again, I have been too optimistic, yesterday. The reported problem ("eigenvalues below...") did indeed disappear when I modified the sphere radii and/or put deep semi-core states in the core, as reported yesterday. But when I applied the same modification to a Cu atom at a different

Thanks Peter and Laurence. The suggestion on core states/Rmt value seem to solve it. Here are the results of the tests both of you suggested: > I've two suspicions: > a) Some problem with the struct file. It could be identical positions of > one atom, wrong symmetry operations, wrong multiplicit

I've two suspicions: a) Some problem with the struct file. It could be identical positions of one atom, wrong symmetry operations, wrong multiplicity,... Make sure that the analysis from nn, sgroup and symmetry fit to each other. You may also remove case.vns temporarely to check if the problems

Hmmm. Some other thoughts: 1) Try "x patchsymm". It's an undocumented utility I put in with pairhess. It will put into case.struct_new a set of atomic positions averaged over the symmetry with an output in case.outputpatch which will show any problems. The difference between the new/old positions

Dear wien2k community, I ran into a case that gave a QTL-B error in the first iteration. Following the FAQ, I therefore set the default 0.30 linearization energy to about 0.2 Ry below the :FER that is found in case.scf2, and adjust the linearization energies of the deeper states to the eigenval
