Dear all,
I am trying to calculate the atomic charge of BaMoO3 with Bader analysis. I
am using Quantum ESPRESSO for post-processing and Critic2 for Bader
analyses. the exchange-correlation function is PBEsol and the type of
pseudopotentials are PAW. so I used the plot_num=21 for pp.x calculation.
I have read rest of the Pw_forum for bader analysis but this statement has
a lot of ambiguity. as I found out, for Bader analysis I have to use denser
FFT (but how much?). for this purpose I have tried different nr1, nr2, nr3:
SCF.in:
nr1=600, nr2=600, nr3=600
SCF.out:
Dense grid: 307531 G-vectors FFT dimensions: ( 600, 600, 600)
Smooth grid:59085 G-vectors FFT dimensions: ( 576, 576, 576)
Critic2 Out:
* Critical point list, final report (non-equivalent cps)
Topological class (n|b|r|c): 3(5) 3(42) 0(0) 2(11)
Morse sum: -48
* Integrated atomic properties
# Integrable properties 1 to 4
# Id cp ncp Name Z mult VolumePop

as you can see, for different "nr" I found out different atomic charge.
even with a Dense grid around 429697 G-vectors, the charge does not get
converged (Ba = 59.7).
Please if somebody has a clue about this let me know.
