Re: [Wien] A basic question

Dear Shamik, We can answer your question in many ways. First of all, DFT is a theory of ground state properties. We thus do not expect good simulations of excited states properties! However, we are commonly using DFT to reproduce excited states properties (optical, magnetic ...), while we

Dear Wien2k users & Experts, I have a basic question regarding simulation using different functionals. I have learned that simulation using mbj would provide more accurate band gap than it is provided by either GGA or GGA+U or nlvdw. On the contrary, if we want to

Concerning a), I believe you should ignore the "error" as not relevant (at least that is what I was told). For b), I believe the extend potential is an experimental feature, I would not use it. For c), are you using a core hole (full or patial)? Is your hole spin polarized? You will get a

I'm not an expert on telnes3, but some comments below. The WIEN2k 19.1 usersguide [1] on page 202 has: /case.vtotal (I). Total crystal potential (can be generated by lapw0). Read if EXTEND POTENTIAL is used./ From that statement, I suppose it means that after a spin-polarized calculation

Perhaps it's just my system but the WIEN2k 19.1 nlvdw, which has been compiled with gfortran (gcc version 7.4.0 under Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS), is behaving strangely.  It seems to get hung up trying to open $file.outputnlvdw in SCR_nlvdw/vdw.F.  In x_lapw, I see $file.outputnlvdw defined as unit 6.

1) Did you use the P4/m cell it reduces to? 2) Volume relaxation is silly for a nanotube. The only parameter that can be varied is the c-axis. 3) As said before, changing the in1 file seemed to help for lapw1, but was the source of the lapw2 problem. 4) Did you ever look at the structure? Almost

The RAM of the computer was probably not sufficient and the job got killed. For such large systems you need to do MPI parallel calculations by adding a line "nlvdw:..." in the file .machines (see user's guide for detail) and using option -p (runsp_lapw -p ...). You should also run the other

Also...When I am running the simulation for simple case like Li, nlvdw works fine. The error is showing for big structures as has been attached in the earlier mail. Is it related to large IFFT parameter in case.in0 as came by default for Li-Sn alloy. Looking forward to your reply eagerly.
