Hi,
I have a question regarding how to choose ecutwfc and ecutrho. When I check the pseudopotentials, there is a recommendation of which ecutwfc and ecutrho to choose. However, they may differ a lot between different kinds of atoms. For example for Li.pbe-s-kjpaw_psl. 1.0.0.UPF and O.pbe-n-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF: Li : ecutwfc= 103 Ry, ecutrho = 410 Ry O : 47 Ry, ecutrho = 327 Ry. So, when I have a system where I have both Li and O atoms, how shall I think. I know that one should try it out, but still: how is the rule of thumb? Shall I go for the highest ecutwfc? And if so which ecutrho shall I use, as I understand it for the Oxygen the ecutrho needs to be 327/47 times higher than the ecutwfc. If I choose ecutwfc=103, shall I then use 103*327/47? Kind regards, Carina
