Hello,
Merry Christmas to all,
I am still looking forward to any helpful advice.
Any help will be appreciated.

Dear Sir Xavier and Gerhard,
Thank you very much for making my understanding a little bit clear.
This query is in continuation of my past queries.
I shall mention here that, I am reproducing a paper and I took optimised
lattice parameters from the literature paper and the initialisation and scf
were performed on exactly same parameters what the author reported.
[http://pubs.rsc.org/-/content/articlehtml/2016/cp/c6cp04065a]
I have calculated ground state energy of ABO3, AO, and BO2 for a variety of
compounds (high-temperature cubic perovskite). The purpose is to study the
thermodynamic stability of the bulk system (ABO3) and creation of defect in the
system (A, B, and O; charged and neutral vacancy).
The energy calculated from Eq 2 is in agreement with the reported one in the
literature but none of the authors provided the energy calculated by Eq. 1 and
I could not compare it.
So my query is related to stability issue.
As Gerhard sir said, binary reactants may be more stable and thus I am getting
the total energy positive from Eq. 1 and this is endothermic. Yes, this may be
a case and I am getting a positive energy.
Can we study such a system (high-temperature cubic phase with endothermic
nature) from DFT/Wien2k (at T=0K) to study the defect creation and
thermodynamic stability?
Thank you again sir,
Chin

Isn't it simply possible that the binaries AO + BO2 are more stable than the
ternary ABO3 ?
BTW.: you find tons of papers where quaternaries or ternaries are predicted to
exist even so the binaries (possibly in combination with elements) are more
stable
and a phase separation will occur.
Ciao

Dear Chin
Your question is a little aside from the WIENLIST. Indeed, it is thermodynamics.
In equation 1, you evaluate the enthalpie of formation of the compound ABO3
from the reactants AO and BO2 using internal energies. Indeed, you neglect the
volumetric effect (P deltaV). From your DFT calculation, if correct, you can
simply conclude that the following reaction is endothermic.
Equation 2 gives you a different reaction and in your case is exothermic. We
cannot answer in more details based on your message which do not provide any
details. I can simply say that depending on the experimental conditions, the
atmosphere can be oxygen rich / oxygen poor ... you can start from pure solids
A and B ... or other compounds ... In all case you will estimate a total energy
difference which will give you an idea of the endo/exo-thermic nature of the
reaction. You will not estimate the Gibbs energy (because you also neglect the
entropic part T deltaS). However, in many articles we consider that estimation
of internal energies are sufficient for solids because both deltaV and deltaS
are negligeable (but such an approximation can be really bad).
Hope it will help you.
Cheers
Xavier

Dear Sir,
I am working on the system ABO3 .
I have calculated formation energy in two ways:
Delta_E= Et[ABO3] - Et[AO] - Et[BO2] ------ (1)
Delta_E= Et[ABO3] - Et[A] - Et[B] - 3/2Et[O2] ----- (2)
The Delta_E is positive 0.04 Ry from Eq (1) while is negative from Eq 2.
Why is the energy difference calculated from Eq (1) positive?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Chin
