Thank you Gavin, I thought that to increase the energy axis you needed to increase emax in case.in1. When opening DOS you get; Optional steps: Edit case.in1 and specify a larger E-max (bottom of file) Now I see that there is a emax in case.int and in this simple

Dear Peter, Laurence, and Xavier: many thanks for looking into this issue and making suggestions. The future plan is to go to 128+ atoms supercell for alloys. So the computational efficiency will be important at that point. I also tried to eliminate all symmetry operations except for

Re: [Wien] Defining K-path for Triclinic Materials

Try to specify the k-path line by line separately and put complete path together by concatenating the files. xcrysden tries to find a common denominator and this is probably too large. PS: When creating your k-mesh by hand, be sure to obey the fixed format of this file. All columns must end

[Wien] Defining K-path for Triclinic Materials

Dear all: I have had some problems in calculating band structure and error occurs in x lapw1 -band -p I am trying to calculate the band structure of CaAs3 which is triclinic. If a choose the k path in xcrysden, it will generate a file with the following output: K.1 *-6000*2 0

As you Laurence, I was thinking about the effect of shifting or not the kmesh! Peter, do you think it will lead to a better convergence? Cheers Xavier Le 03/09/2018 à 13:59, Laurence Marks a écrit : What you are doing "should" work -- I have done similar things myself. I have also managed

Re: [Wien] optics broken symmetry

Dear Oleg, I looked into the problem and unfortunately I can offer only a partial solution. I confirm that: a) The scf cycle gives identical results with or without broken symmetry. b) The optics gives "wrong" results with broken symmetry. I inspected the matrix elements and the problem
