Hi All Siesta users,

I am interested in calculating energy barrier between two different
configurations of  an atomic structure. Is there any subroutine
implemented in SIESTA which can probe the "minimum energy path" for
the transition (like nudged elastic band or some other
implementation?) ?

>From the previous posts, it seems like that researchers have attempted
to implement it in SIESTA. But, I do not know the current status. I
also noticed that there is an option for doing "constrained"
minimization, but I am not sure how that can be used if I have ~100
atoms in my structure and all or 25% of which are rearranging to yield
the final configuration.

Thanks and Regards,
Ravi
