Re: [Wien] core leakage problem

2015-07-18 Thread Muhammad Sajjad
Dear L. Dobysheva

Thank you for your suggestions. I have over come the problem. The forces
have reached around 1 mRy/**.
Now the issue is the Si 100 layer saturated with H  but the system is
behaving like a metal. I am unable to find its reason or some wrong
approach followed in my calculations.

 also possible]

 I don't know what is 80 here.

 I am afraid nobody is able to find the reason with this info. Maybe this

  Please clarify that how to use*  the shell script min lapw, together with

 As far as I understand you, this is a first method, while you used a
 second one?
 Userguide: When using the second method we recommend you read carefully
 $WIEN-ROOT/SRC mixer/README 5.2.pdf.

 Section 5.3.2 Minimization of internal parameters describes the first
 method.

With this command you found a self-consistent solution of a density 
functional problem with a certain accuracy - forces accuracy is equal 1.

As you can see the forces in your system are large:
:FOR001:   1.ATOM  60.004776  -0.02  -0.03 
60.004776 total forces
:FOR002:   2.ATOM  33.431081  -0.03   0.03 
33.431081 total forces


And you should make relaxation of atoms.
So, read in userguide about two ways to do this.

 relaxations at the center of the crystal are as small as possible. (Some
 people will fix the center of the slab, but I think that is bad physics.)
 Your bulk crystal is way too small.

   Dear All
  I am performing structural relaxation for Si (100) with H at its top
 and bottom (structure is attached, vacuum is 12 A).  I have inspect the
 mailing list in detail (like
 http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/textbooks/DFT_and_LAPW_2nd.pdf AND
 http://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=core+leakagel=wien%40zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at)
 and have resolved the issue by selecting SE -12, but the calculation hang
 out after LAPW0. Inspection of lapw1_1.error message is Error in LAPW1.
 Please suggest me the possible solution.

  One more thing I found in the list 

 If
 you have core leakage, inspect in case.outputst whether you can take
 some high-lying core states as valence states instead

 
  Is it possible to make it manually with same SE ? or simple done by
 lowering down SE as I did?

  Many thanks

Re: [Wien] core leakage problem

2015-07-12 Thread Laurence Marks
A few points:

a) Your Si-H distance is too small, it should be about 1.45 Angstroms and
you have 1.0 Angstroms. With a better value most of your problems will
probably go away.

b) To do a surface calculation you must use the DFT equilibrium lattice
parameters, not the bulk ones. If you do not the results will be wrong.

c) For a surface calculation you need the distance between the two surfaces
across the vacuum gap to be equal to or smaller than the distance between
the two surfaces across the crystal. I personally prefer to make the bulk
material twice as wide as the vacuum gap, so the atomic relaxations at the
center of the crystal are as small as possible. (Some people will fix the
center of the slab, but I think that is bad physics.) Your bulk crystal is
way too small.
