Certainly, but in the program Ef has a value, and the question was; "relative to what?" It cannot be the ionization energy of the crystal since that is a result of a calculation so it cannot be taken as initial parameter.

The Ecut value is relative to the ionization energy of the individual atoms. ________________________________________ De: wien-boun...@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at <wien-boun...@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at> en nombre de Ридный Ярослав Максимович <yaros...@physics.susu.ac.ru> Enviado: lunes, 20 de abril de 2015 07:46 a. m. Para: wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at Asunto: [Wien] Fermi level Hello, I have calculated the Fermi level :FER : F E R M I - ENERGY(TETRAH.M.)= 0.78830 Fermi level = 0,7883 Ry Relative to what is taken to zero in the program? And another question When we write Ecut=-7.0 We cut the levels below -7.0 Ry relative to some zero. _______________________________________________ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/wien SEARCH the MAILING-LIST at: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/index.html _______________________________________________ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/wien SEARCH the MAILING-LIST at: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/index.html _______________________________________________ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/wien SEARCH the MAILING-LIST at: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/index.html _______________________________________________ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/wien SEARCH the MAILING-LIST at: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/index.html
