Dear members, I am running a relax calculation on trimers of the type M-N-M where M describes a magnetic atom. I am running them as spin-polarized calculations with Hubbard-U. The shape of the unit cell is cubic. I want to find out the equilibrium bond length (M-N). Since the cluster is symmetric, I would expect that both M-N-M bond lengths would be same. But, it turns out that two bond lengths are different. Why is this happening? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks for any help, Izaak Williamson Research Assistant Physics Department Boise State University -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/pw_forum/attachments/20101006/d62bae24/attachment.htm
