[Wien] mBJ gap GaAs

2014-04-15 Thread sollebac
Dear wien2k users, Im trying to calculate the gap mBJ of GaAs as an example following the user-guide. Everything finished ok but the value that I got is 1.63 eV at Gamma, while the experimental value are ~1.52 (300K) and ~1.42 (0K). How can i get close value to experimental? i mean how

Hi, yes, 1.63 eV is the value that you should obtained with mBJ. This value is in much better agreement with experiment than LDA or PBE, but you should not expect perfect agreement with experiment. However, by varying manually the value of c [Eq. (3) of PRL 102, 226401 (2009)] you can get more

Dear wien2kusers   I'm learning wien2k for calculating electronic property, I wan to know what's the error bar for calculating Energy in the wien2k code? Thank you in advance Best regards___ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at

Dear Sahra Sahraii the difference between your calculated and experimental values depends on the exchange-correlation functional you use. When using PBE, for example, it is about 0.01 eV/atom for energy differences between chemically and structurally similar compounds, 0.03 eV/atom for

Your LOWER and UPPER BOUND values are the same and SOS values are 0. I have seen something similar before. One user was able to solve the problem by using the latest Wien2k version and not an old buggy version [http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg09737.html]. I
