Dear Prof. Stefano,

 

Thank you. So, is this a special feature of VASP? 

 

Regards,

Rolly

Dear QE experts,

I read about molecule deformation energy in the following article, I believe it 
was computed with VASP.

DFT studies of  the bonding mechanism of 8-hydroxyquinoline and derivatives on 
the (111) aluminum surface.
DOI:10.1039/C5CP03095A

The molecule deformation energy was defined as as, E(deform mol) = E(mol/ads) - 
E(mol/vac).
where E(mol/vac) is the total energy of the free molecule in vacuum, and 
E(mol/ads) is the total energy of the isolated molecule at the geometry after 
adsorption.

My question is how to get E(mol/ads) of the molecule from the full system? 

 

You can't.

 

Stefano 





I have searched the .out file for "energy" but I canto find energy of 
individual atoms in the full system so I cannot do any summation like sumpdos.x?

Can anyone help?

Thank you,
Rolly Ng
