Thank you Prof. Blaha, Your explanation makes sense. Of course an alternative method to calculate formation and cohesive energies would be to combine experimental data with DFT energies, such as the method described in Phys. Rev. B 85, 115104 (2012). This way one would avoid calculations of metal

I would answer it differently: No, it does not really make sense to use LDA+U for an atom; but there are not many other chances to calculate formation or cohesive energies. For such quantities one MUST do all calculations with exactly the same calculational parameters and of course also with

​​ Dear users, I am calculating the cohesive energy of a series of transition metal (TM) oxides and I have the following questions: because the energy of the TMO is calculated within the LDA+U framework should I use the same LDA+U for the free atoms? Does it make sense to subtract LDA+U/GGA+U ener

Orthorhombic means that the lattice constants a, b and c are not equal. P means primitive, which is one of the lattice types (see Table 4.4 in users's guide). The unit cell for Na has orthorhombic symmetry and is of lattice type P. The wave function of the electronic state with the lowest total e

Hi, Yes you can choose P instead of F. Beside this, it is important to reduce the symmetry (e.g., from cubic to orthorhombic) for atoms with an open shell (most free atoms are magnetic) in order to reach the proper electronic ground state. I attached the struct file (P) that I used for a free Na
