Dear Wien2k community, I have been trying to perform spin-polarized and non-spin-polarized calculations for the ferromagnetic Gd5Si4. No success in either case, calculations freeze. I use WIEN2k_10.1 (Release 7/6/2010)
For the spin-polarized case I use LDA+U, input values are default: Gd5Si4_sp.in1 ******************************************************************************************************** WFFIL EF= 0.50000 (WFFIL, WFPRI, ENFIL, SUPWF) 7.00 10 4 (R-MT*K-MAX; MAX L IN WF, V-NMT 0.30 6 0 (GLOBAL E-PARAMETER WITH n OTHER CHOICES, global APW/LAPW) 0 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 0 -3.43 0.001 STOP 1 1 -1.67 0.002 CONT 1 1 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 3 0.30 0.005 CONT 1 2 0.30 0.005 CONT 1 0.30 6 0 (GLOBAL E-PARAMETER WITH n OTHER CHOICES, global APW/LAPW) 0 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 0 -3.43 0.001 STOP 1 1 -1.67 0.002 CONT 1 1 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 3 0.30 0.005 CONT 1 2 0.30 0.005 CONT 1 0.30 6 0 (GLOBAL E-PARAMETER WITH n OTHER CHOICES, global APW/LAPW) 0 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 0 -3.43 0.001 STOP 1 1 -1.67 0.002 CONT 1 1 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 3 0.30 0.005 CONT 1 2 0.30 0.005 CONT 1 0.30 2 0 (GLOBAL E-PARAMETER WITH n OTHER CHOICES, global APW/LAPW) 0 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 1 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 0.30 2 0 (GLOBAL E-PARAMETER WITH n OTHER CHOICES, global APW/LAPW) 0 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 1 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 0.30 2 0 (GLOBAL E-PARAMETER WITH n OTHER CHOICES, global APW/LAPW) 0 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 1 0.30 0.000 CONT 1 K-VECTORS FROM UNIT:4 -9.0 2.5 853 emin/emax/nband ******************************************************************************************************** Gd5Si4_sp.in2 ******************************************************************************************************** TOT (TOT,FOR,QTL,EFG,FERMI) -12.0 424.0 0.50 0.05 EMIN, NE, ESEPERMIN, ESEPER0 TETRA 0.000 (GAUSS,ROOT,TEMP,TETRA,ALL eval) 0 0 1 0 1 1 -1 1 2 0 2 1 -2 1 2 2 -2 2 3 0 3 1 -3 1 3 2 -3 2 3 3 -3 3 4 0 4 1 -4 1 4 2 -4 2 4 3 -4 3 4 4 -4 4 5 0 5 1 -5 1 5 2 -5 2 5 3 -5 3 5 4 -5 4 5 5 -5 5 6 0 6 1 -6 1 6 2 -6 2 6 3 -6 3 6 4 -6 4 6 5 -6 5 6 6 -6 6 0 0 1 0 1 1 -1 1 2 0 2 1 -2 1 2 2 -2 2 3 0 3 1 -3 1 3 2 -3 2 3 3 -3 3 4 0 4 1 -4 1 4 2 -4 2 4 3 -4 3 4 4 -4 4 5 0 5 1 -5 1 5 2 -5 2 5 3 -5 3 5 4 -5 4 5 5 -5 5 6 0 6 1 -6 1 6 2 -6 2 6 3 -6 3 6 4 -6 4 6 5 -6 5 6 6 -6 6 0 0 1 1 -1 1 2 0 2 2 -2 2 3 1 -3 1 3 3 -3 3 4 0 4 2 -4 2 4 4 -4 4 5 1 -5 1 5 3 -5 3 5 5 -5 5 6 0 6 2 -6 2 6 4 -6 4 6 6 -6 6 0 0 1 0 1 1 -1 1 2 0 2 1 -2 1 2 2 -2 2 3 0 3 1 -3 1 3 2 -3 2 3 3 -3 3 4 0 4 1 -4 1 4 2 -4 2 4 3 -4 3 4 4 -4 4 5 0 5 1 -5 1 5 2 -5 2 5 3 -5 3 5 4 -5 4 5 5 -5 5 6 0 6 1 -6 1 6 2 -6 2 6 3 -6 3 6 4 -6 4 6 5 -6 5 6 6 -6 6 0 0 1 1 -1 1 2 0 2 2 -2 2 3 1 -3 1 3 3 -3 3 4 0 4 2 -4 2 4 4 -4 4 5 1 -5 1 5 3 -5 3 5 5 -5 5 6 0 6 2 -6 2 6 4 -6 4 6 6 -6 6 0 0 1 1 -1 1 2 0 2 2 -2 2 3 1 -3 1 3 3 -3 3 4 0 4 2 -4 2 4 4 -4 4 5 1 -5 1 5 3 -5 3 5 5 -5 5 6 0 6 2 -6 2 6 4 -6 4 6 6 -6 6 12.00 GMAX NOFILE FILE/NOFILE write recprlist ******************************************************************************************************** and the custom files: Gd5Si4_sp.inorb ******************************************************************************************************** 1 3 0 nmod, natorb, ipr PRATT, 1.0 mixmod, amix 1 1 3 iatom nlorb, lorb 2 1 3 iatom nlorb, lorb 3 1 3 iatom nlorb, lorb 1 nsic 0.44 0.0 U J 0.44 0.0 U J 0.44 0.0 U J ******************************************************************************************************** Gd5Si4_sp.indm ******************************************************************************************************** -9.
