Dear Prof. Blaha Thank you very much for your reply . I actually have done a mistake (due to my lack of understanding) in the job files. My calculation is spin polarized and I had both x_lapw dstart -p and x_lapw dstart -up -p/ x_lapw dstart -dn -p enabled. I changed it and now my

Rather than removing the Broyden files, an alternative is to inject a Pratt step. To do this, look at the values of the GREED (i.e. grep :MIX case.scf) and chose a moderately small number, e.g. 0.025. Then do "echo 0.025 > .pratt". This injects a single step without losing the memory. For

WIEN2k is an "ab initio" method. You cannot assign a certain number of VALENCE electrons to a specific atom. Only core electrons are specific to an atom and its occupation can be constraint. The term "charge transfer insulator" describes a situation if the CBM and VBM has states on different

I don't know from where you have this recipe, but it does not work. From a non-spinpolarized calc. you cannot go to a spin-polarized solution. For difficult spin-polarized calculations you may need more than the 40 default iterations. Continue and specify more iterations (-i 80 or more).

Hello wien users When we encounter a problem of converge in a spin polarized calculation there is a solution which states that we do a non spin polarized calculation which is known with its faster convergence and using the new densities as starting densities for a new spin polarized calculation.

Respected Prof. Blaha, Thanks for your detailed explation. The method I followed in the core-EELS calculation is consistent with what you said, setting core hole, adding electrons to background charge, etc. However, if I simply remove one oxygen 2p electron and simply add one electron in Cu

We can only "guess". You calculations gave the first error in a dstart step. What says dstart.error It looks as if you do not have a full initialization in these directories. And remember, dstart needs not only *in* files, but also case.rsp/up/dn from x lstart On 11/15/19 4:18 PM,
