Re: [Wien] Fold2Bloch in parallel mode

2017-10-18 Thread Rubel, Oleg
The multiplicity 1:1:1 implies that the primitive cell and the supercell are the same. Thus, there is nothing to unfold. You should simply plot a classical band structure in this case. Thank you Oleg -- Oleg Rubel (PhD, PEng) Department of Materials Science and Engineering McMaster University

Thanks for the replies. Using join_vectorfiles is working well. I have a follow up question. I've been able to replicate the tutorials, and a supercell of my own, but when I use fold2bloch on a single unit cell with folds of 1:1:1 the weights in the case.f2b file are all 1. Do you have any

Either solution (Peter’s or Maciej’s) should work. The user’s choice might depend on the size of the vector files. If you process individual *.vector_X files with fold2Bloch, it will warn that the number of k-points is less than in the klist-file. This warning can be ignored since k-points are

There is a join_vectorfile utility which combines the parallel vector files into a single one. On 10/17/2017 07:21 PM, Tristan de Boer wrote: Dear WIEN2k Users, I'm trying to use Fold2Bloch for a calculation in which I've done 'x lapw1 -c -p -band'. In this case, the case.vector file is

Thank you very much Prof. Tomas for letting me the nice tool. I tried the OrthOpt script as usual as suggested "source volumeOrtho" in a pre-initialized case directory on a i3 Laptop with Wien2k_17.1. It showed me several errors on screen (just copying few error messages while the optimization

Dear Bhamu, There is an alternative way. You may use the OrthoOpt package available at http://susi.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/reg_user/unsupported/OrthoOpt/ It proceeds in a similar way Stefaan has suggested in previous mail copied below. It first fixes the volume and finds a minimum energy

Thanks Gavin for reply. I just add that OrthoOpt fixes the volume and relaxes simultaneously c/a and b/a ratio of lattice parameters using several times x optimize and searching the best combination of c/a and b/a. Then it moves on for next volume and so on. It does not change the angles of
