I am trying to calculate a sufficiently large 2x3x15 supercell  based on a tetragonal barium titanate (BaTiO3) cell. In this calculation, I create an oxygen vacancy and a surface. The calculation is successfully

Sufficiently large  ???   I'd say, it is MUCH too large.

2x3 ?? either use 2x2 or 3x3. (you want to separate the vacancies in x and y in the same way).

15 ?? One cell contributes 2 layers, so with 15 units (+ repetition on top) you have 31 layers. I'd guess 3-5 cells are enough.

Do you have inversion ?

You need to report how you ran the calculation. mpi-parallel ? How many cores, ... RKmax, ...

initialized with the parameters of atomic spheres equal to Rmt(Ba)=2.30, Rmt(Ti)=1.82, Rmt(O)=1.65. However, when I run the calculation with PBE, iterative diagonalization, an error appears:

** Error in Parallel LAPW1
** LAPW1 STOPPED
** check ERROR FILES!
Cholesky INFO = 9896
'SECLR4' - POTRF (Scalapack/LAPACK) failed.

I tried to find an answer in WIEN2k's letters – among the suggestions was rerun the calculation after setting other initial electron density parameters (dstart), changing the radii of atomic spheres, and others, but they did not help. What could I do to run this calculation correctly?


Thank you in advance,
Best Regards,
Natalia
