[Wien] Supercell calculation is not converging

2011-09-05 Thread shamik chakrabarti
Dear wien2k users, I have performed a 56 atom / unit cell calculation for a ferrimagnetic material. It was well converged both in energy and charge by 60 iterations. 14 K points were used for this calculation. Then I have generated a 2x1x1 supercell having 112 atoms / supercell. This was

Follow the science, not the DFT. 1) Unless you have a large grain size and synchotron data I really wonder about the logic of removing 1 atom in a 2x1x1 supercell. Particularly if this is an oxide, have you made it a metal whereas it should be an insulator? Does the fit pass significance tests

Dear Laurence Marks Sir, Yes this is an oxide and it is an insulator and probably I have made it a metal by creating *cationic vacancies*. Sir I will let you know the detail after checking it from case.output2. But Sir, please forgive my curiosity, I could not wait to ask you and also going

Check the confidence levl, e.g. t-test (i am not an expert with this package). Xrd Reitfeld is as susceptible to GIGO as DFT. On Sep 5, 2011 11:58 AM, shamik chakrabarti shamikphy at gmail.com wrote: Dear Laurence Marks Sir, Yes this is an oxide and it is an insulator and probably I have made
