[Wien] how to choose the value of NUME?

2008-04-16 Thread katrusiat
Dear creators of Wien2k, The parameter NUME defines the maximal number of eigenvalues and, as it is said in the User's Guide, has to be increased for unitcells with large number of electrons. How are the number of eigenvalues and the number of electrons related? Is it true that the two

At line 183 the unix cut utility is called with options after the filename. This is contrary to cut man page which requires options before filename. This is not a problem in Linux, where often programs run different as advertised in man pages. However, when I run wien2k in FreeBSD I got an

Dear all, I perform ferromagnetic (FM) (I make it FM by modifying the case.inst file accordingly) GGA+U calculations of the total energy of Cs2CuCl4, the compound with 4 equivalent magnetic Cu's in a unit cell. When I create an artificial unit cell of a lower symmetry with 2 inequivalent pairs

1) How large is your energy change? Perhaps it is just numerical noise? 2) If the change is large enough, and if it is a lowering of the energy upon symmetry reduction, you might have an onset of orbital ordering. Inspect the density matrices of the two inequivalent Cu-sites (dmat files),

[Wien] truncated pathnames - possible cause of errors in wien2k_08.1

2008-04-16 Thread Michal Wierzbicki
In many places in wien2k code pathnames are stored in CHARACTER*80 variables. Unix usually allows pathnames up to 255 characters. I found this problem when the pathname of a $case.vector file exceeded 80 characters. LAPW2 program tried to read this file with trucated name such as $case.ve and

Dear Stefaan, To be exact, I have never calculated the high-symmetry case, but only the cases with a symmetry reduced in different ways, that is, picking up Cu pairs in a different way. For example, the high-symmetry (62_Pnma) unit cell can be reduced into: {1} - (26 Pmc21) or {2} - (11
