[Wien] charge fluctuation

2015-07-02 Thread Seyyed Amir Abbas Emami
​dear users I am working on Mn2NbAs compound. I set the starting spin configuration u-d-d for Mn, Zr and As respectively. When i run the program the charge fluctuates around 0.02 for more than 1000 iterations and finally do not converge (I stop it). I change all of the initial parameters like

​dear WIEN2K users I am working on Mn2NbAs compound. I can volume optimize the structure successfully and then obtain equilibrium lattice parameter. But i have a problem when i want to run the compound with the equilibrium lattice parameter. actually the charge convergence fluctuate around

Thank you very much dear Lyudmila. I think your suggestion is correct. But i have a question about clmextrapol_lapw. How can i use this script. Is the below steps correct? 1- First i run the program with lattice parameter 6.08 or 6.98 2- save_lapw -d xxx 3-changing struct file (lattice paramete

You can probably figure out how to use clmextrapol_lapw by looking at an optimize.job script: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien%40zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg12205.html http://www.mail-archive.com/wien%40zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg08291.html http://www.mail-archive.com/wien%40zeus.theochem.t

​Now i have another question. What about if i suppose to change for example RKmax or k-point or other parameter. I mean what is the procedure for running clmextrapol_lapw. Is the following sequence correct? 1- First i run the program with lattice parameter 6.08 or 6.98 2- save_lapw -d xxx 3- x ds

Perhaps, someone with more experience using clmextrapol_lapw will comment later. It is the weekend and in some places it may be a holiday (Fourth of July weekend in the US). Though, you can probably get the answer to your question through trial and error. If you try the procedure and the scf

clmextrapol is only needed/used if the lattice and/or positions change. RKMAX changes require nothing. k-point sampling requires nothing except with -HF RMT changes require clminter. Best/safest is to always save the old version --- Professor Laurence Marks Department of Materials Science and

​dear Gavin On what you said about clmextrapol_lapw when only lattice parameter is changed ( i mean the procedure that you mentioned): I read somewhere, that after run save_lapw , just changing the lattice parameter to new one and running run_lapw, is sufficient. I do that and the new l

Frequently this is because there is something wrong with how you have setup the physical model, e.g. RMT, RKMAX, k-points, U etc. However, since you did not provide any of this information it is impossible to say anything useful. On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 12:16 PM, Seyyed Amir Abbas Emami < a.a.em..

​thank you dear Laurence for your reply. I used these parameters: RMT (Mn)=2.20 RMT (Nb)=2.32 RMT (As)=2.25 a.u. RKmax=8 k-point=8000 points which lead to 256 special k-points. cut-off energy = -6.5 and 7 Ry mixing factor = default value. and finally i do not use U potential. __
