Re: [Wien] Spin-orbit coupling effect on band gap energy with LDA and GGA-PBE

I did not add RLOs at all. For sure not for light elements like O and F. This option is in particular for semicore p states of heavy elements, but maybe for Bi-p it is ok. In any case, if case.inso, in1, in2, in0 are identical for mbj-lda and mbj-pbe, the results must be identical. Am

Using your struct file I tested the gaps. The results are exactly as expected: psi11:/psi11/pblaha/test> grepline :gap '*scf' 1 in 6 files: lda.scf::GAP (global) : 0.243291 Ry = 3.310 eV (accurate value if proper k-mesh) pbe.scf::GAP (global) : 0.257682 Ry = 3.506 eV (accurate

As I said before: The first question is: why is LDA+mBJ and PBE#mBJ not identical ?? What is :DIS of all your calculations ? My guess is that they are not converged (just 40 default iterations, just default convergence ?) We do not know enough about your compound (except that it contains Bi),

Dear Dr. Blaha, 1. Case: I get 4.85 eV for LDA and then MBJ without SO (4.77 eV with SO) 2. Case: I get 4.74 eV for PBE and then MBJ without SO (4.79 eV with SO) In the 1. case band gap decreases with SO, but in the 2. case band gap increases. I use Emax=5 eV for both calculations. As far as

Do you get identical gaps for: LDA and then MBJ  (no SO) PBE and then MBJ  (no SO)   ??? If you did everything right, there is no reason why adding SO at the end should give a different result. Probably some other mistake ... ? Am 11.05.2024 um 17:32 schrieb Yakup Boran: Dear Dr Blaha,

Dear Dr Blaha, I think I did not write clear enough. The calculation was done by following: 1. I did regular scf calculation with LDA 2. I added mBJ on it. 3. Then I added SOC. I repeated the same calculation with PBE. Thank you 11 May 2024 Cmt, saat 17:08 tarihinde Peter Blaha şunu yazdı:

I'm not quite sure I understand what you did. You are always using   mBJ  (for VX), but how do you mix in LDA or PBE ? By default we use LDA for VC, (and anything for EX and EC, since this is not important). Usually, the choice of VC has only a small effect (as compared to VX). Please show

Dear Wien2K users, I am running a calculation for a Bi-containing compound with a tetragonal structure type. I used LDA with mBJ, and then, due to the heavy Bi atom, I did the SOC calculation. The calculated band gap energy with SOC is smaller than without SOC. I checked the literature, and the
