[Wien] LMO for LSMO

2010-04-26 Thread Lukasz Plucinski
Dear Prof. Blaha and WIEN2k users,

Of course I always use w2web :) I was manipulating sphere sizes to avoid 
leakage of Mn atom, I don't know what went wrong, but its unimportant now.

Today I started calculation from the scratch in a new directory. I used 
automatic RMT calculation in StructGen, then I needed to use -8 Ry in 
lstart to avoid Mn leakage.

I set 56.7 for La charge, and in case.inst I did:

La
Xe 2 
5, 2,1.0  N
5, 2,0.0  N
6,-1,1.0  N
6,-1,0.7  N

This has reproduced the recently published LDA result from J. Phys.: 
Condens. Matter 21 (2009) 266002. So far so good !

How much will I gain from including the GGA+U ? I am mosty interested in 
realistic Fermi surface.

Regards,
Lukasz

 Why don't you create the struct file with w2web ???

 Mn1NPT=  781  R0=0.0001 RMT=2.1000   Z: 25.0
 O 1NPT=  781  R0=0.0001 RMT=1.5600   Z:  8.0
 La1NPT=  781  R0=0.0005 RMT=3.6200   Z: 57.0

 We have put lots of effort into it to select meaningful parameters.

 One cannot use arbitraryly chosen sphere radii, even the R0 values 
 are not
 usable. Either you use the tools we provide, or you must carefully 
 read the UG, the
 faq pages, S.Cotteniers book, the advises in the mailing list,...
 and follow them.

 Start a fresh case and create the struct file according to w2web.

 Dear WIEN2k Experts,

 My goal is to calculate LSMO, so I try ideal LMO first.

 Initialization and first SCF cycle goes fine, but then I have error 
 in SELECT in the second cycle. I reduced mixing to 0.01 and error 
 still happens:

 FORTRAN STOP  LAPW0 END
 FORTRAN STOP  LAPW1 END
 FORTRAN STOP  LAPW1 END
 FORTRAN STOP  LAPW2 END
 FORTRAN STOP  LAPW2 END
 FORTRAN STOP  CORE  END
 FORTRAN STOP  CORE  END
 FORTRAN STOP  MIXER END
 in cycle 2ETEST: 0   CTEST: 0
 FORTRAN STOP  LAPW0 END
 FORTRAN STOP SELECT - Error

 stop error

 This is with standard PBE GGA, 500 k-points (7x7x7), and with 
 spin-polarized calculations. I didn't try GGA+U yet.

 Error files and struct file attached. Same happens without 
 spin-polarized but only in 6th SCF cycle -- error files for 
 non-spin-polarized attached as ZIP.

 Could you please advise how to preceed ?

 Regards,
 Lukasz
