Dear Xavier,
              
           Thanks for your reply reg. Co+3 substitution in ZnO. But still I 
have some additional queries as following.

1) By removing an electron from case.in2c, how do I ensure that the electron 
removed is from the Co atom (and not from Zn).

2) If there are more than one Co atom in the cell, how do I tag the Co+3 atom 
and differenciate it from the rest of Co+2 atoms? 




Thanks,
Negi

You should first check where are the Co(d) states in the DOS. 
If the Co(d) states are at the Fermi level, you simply have to do the 
following: 

1. Remove one electron in the case.in2(c) file (line 2 / column 2) 

2. Add a background charge "-1" in the mixer in order to have charge neutrality 
(line 1 / column 2) 

------------------ top of file: case.inm -------------------- 
MSEC3 -1.d0 YES (PRATT/MSEC1/3/MSR1/a bg charge (+1 for additional e), NORM 
0.2 MIXING GREED 
1.0 1.0 Not used, retained for compatibility only 
999 8 nbroyd nuse 
------------------- bottom of file ------------------------ 

After the scf calculation, check the DOS and partial charges to insure that you 
have stabilized the Co(3+) charged state. 

Best Regards 

Xavier

Hello users,

In Wien2k I want to study Co doped ZnO and I want to force the Co atom to be in 
the Co3+ charged state instead of Co2+ and run the scf. How will I do that?

-Thanks
