[Wien] RKmax related errors in parallel OPTIC program

2011-12-22 Thread wanxiang feng
Dear Prof. Blaha

There are some RKmax related errors in parallel OPTIC
program(WIEN2k_11.1). My system is monolayer MoS2 with slab model, I
just want to calculate the momentum operator elements by using OPTIC
program. If I do serial calculation and set RKmax = 7 or 9 in
case.in1c,  all will be OK. If I do parallel calculation, RKmax = 7 is
OK, but RKmax=9 gives me an error.

After obtained the converged ground state, my calculation flow is:

1) serial calculation

x lapw0
x lapw1 -c -up
x lapw1 -c -dn
x lapwso -c -up
x optic -c -so -up

RKmax = 7 or 9 are all OK!

2) parallel calculation (k-point parallel)

x lapw0
x lapw1 -c -up -p
x lapw1 -c -dn -p
x lapwso -c -up -p
x optic -c -so -up -p

RKmax = 7 is OK, but RKmax = 9 is ERROR!

The error information:

[Wien] Fwd: RKmax related errors in parallel OPTIC program

[Wien] A basic problem about KGEN(shift k-mesh?)

2011-12-22 Thread W Hx
Dear users,
 In WIEN2k-FAQ: KGEN: Add inversion ? Shift k-mesh ?
* shiftthe k-mesh ? (only for some lattice types) 
* Shifting of k-mesh means that it will add (x,x,x) to all generated 
k-points, thus shifting them from high symmetry points (lines) to more 
general points with a higher weight. By this procedure (known also as 
special k-point methods) one generates an equally dense mesh, but with less 
basis points. 
* Usually a shift is recommended . Only one word of warning: When you 
are interested in gaps of semiconductors, they are often located at Gamma or 
X (or at some other BZ-border point). With shifted meshes you will NOT have 
those high-symmetry points in your mesh, thus the gap may seem to be 
smaller/larger than expected. 
* Solution to this problem: Do the scf cycle with the shifted mesh, but 
for a DOS change to a fine unshifted mesh. 
From that we know that shifting of k-mesh generates an equally 'dense' mesh. So 
we should get nearly the same results for the same case whether shift k-mesh or 
not.
I calculated the same case (TiO2 2*2*2 supercell) with shift k-mesh and no 
shift k-mesh. But the ENE are different.
grep :ENE 222.scf_mini (shift k-mesh Yes)
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63765571
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63322019
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63804051
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63815033
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63855011
?
grep :ENE 222.scf_mini(shift k-mesh No)
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63642529
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63182990
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63679565
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63690506
:ENE? : ** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =?? -32144.63730723

The energies are different widely. I can not understand. 
For other case i minimized the struct with shift k-mesh and then run a cycle 
with no shift k-mesh, the energy may be larger or smaller. And the forces are 
not smaller than 2.
Can you explain it for me? Thank you for your time and patience.
yours sincerely,
Hongxia Wang
