Re: [Wien] Error during scf calculation of PbI2

Dear Prof. Marks, Actually we are trying to estimate the formation energy of RbPbI3 in the orthorhombic phase and wanted to check its chemical stability. As RbPbI3 -> RbI + PbI2, we are trying to estimate the energy for RbI and PbI2 respectively so that we could conclude whether the process is

This is not straightforward. The leakage is a bit large, and you can avoid it by either increasing the RMT, doing "touch .lcore" or decreasing the energy during lstart (and/or using a numerical value, e.g. 0.999). The second uses dstart to put the tails from the core into the interstitial. All

After the scf calculation of PbI2 system (for both Pb and I RMT is 2.31), it shows warning in total energy. Then I searched case.scf file and found ":NEC01: NUCLEAR AND ELECTRONIC CHARGE188.0 187.98488 :WAR : NEC01: average large charge leakage: 5.038470138648184E-003 e/atom". If

Yes, the SELECT error can be due to a bad struct file: https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg04617.html https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg10860.html You are correct to post the struct file as the problem is likely do to it. I see
