[Wien] Need guidance

2013-09-13 Thread Zaid
Respected Members We would be happy if someone specially Senior community members guide us to new potential trends/materials that could be examined by the use of WIEN2k code. We hope that from their experience and interaction with the current trends they will come out with something very novel

[Wien] mbj probem gap

2013-09-13 Thread Amine Slassi
Hi, I tried using mbj , I have running the calculation of  materials  pure  ( supercell 2*2*2) I found that the gap is  Eg = 3 eV, and as I made doping of this materails  the gap   is  become  Eg = -99.99 eV ( metalic) , (note that with only GGA I don't found this problem.  just with MBJ)

Hello Amine, Have you taken a closer look at the band structure of the GGA and mBJ results? If you get the gap out of the scf files, depending on your k-mesh sometimes you can miss some data. For instance if you use a k-mesh that does not include the gamma point and there is a sharp cross

Hi, I have found this problem just with doping in mBj ( for pure not problem), I look at analys scf. Cordially De : Michael Sluydts michael.sluy...@ugent.be À : A Mailing list for WIEN2k users wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at Envoyé le : Vendredi 13

Hello, I would really start with plotting the band structures for both, so that you can see where the problem actually lies, as in what happens to the bands. The procedure is described in the manual. Regards, Michael Sluydts Op 13/09/2013 10:41, Amine Slassi schreef: Hi, I have found

Dear Wien2k developers and users now you will kill me because on this question there are already many things in the mailing list. I have tried everything possible for this compound (structure file below) and I yet I did not succeed to make the scf run properly. I get the error: Error in LAPW1

The most obvious thing to start is that the angles should be 90.0 exactly, and the translations at the bottom should be 0. (do x patchsymm). Without this there could be problems. Beyond that I don't see anything obvious. You have not said what RKMAX etc you are using, so I don't think we

Glad my guess worked. Considering the size of your cell, 1000 is a very large number of k-points particularly if it is an insulator. On Fri, Sep 13, 2013 at 10:54 AM, Fabiana Da Pieve fabiana.dapi...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Professor Marks you are totally right , now it seems to work. (sorry,

Dear Professor Marks you are totally right , now it seems to work. (sorry, I forgot to say that obviously I also tried different Rkmax values5.5,5.0,4.5,6.0, with Gmax always 24 , number of kpoints I tried: 1000, 1200, 1600, 2000)... I tried everything ... Thank you very much ! Fabiana

Also, RKMAX of 4.5 is huge with a Rmin of 0.6. Please search back in the mailing list to a discussion on what RKMAX to use a month or so ago. On Fri, Sep 13, 2013 at 11:00 AM, Laurence Marks l-ma...@northwestern.edu wrote: Glad my guess worked. Considering the size of your cell, 1000 is a very
