Re: LDA+U with U correction on p-orbitals

Dear Amadon Thank you for your clarification regarding the application of DFT+U on the p orbitals. According to your explanation, the PAW atomic data must be generated with the "vanderbilt" scheme if dmaputopt=4. Is it a strict condition? Many of the JTH v1.0 PAW datasets are generated usi...

For IntelMPI compilers, mpicc, mpif90, mpicxx etc is just wrappers to the actual compilers.

Re: GaAs wurtzite

Correct. You just need to input the Wyckoff positions in xred, and Abinit will generate all available mirror images. So in your case just provide two coordinates for xred. You don't need to mention the site symmetries 2b, Abinit will identify them according to the atomic coordinates you input. In sh...

Re: GaAs wurtzite

First of all did you understand the concept and function of Wyckoff position?
You don't need to input all atom positions explicitly if you use Wyckoff position.
Hint: Your structures only need natrd=2

Re: GaAs wurtzite

Are you familiar with the concept of Wyckoff positions? You can get the Wyckoff positions for every space group from the Bilbao Crystallographic Server. Read the input variables descriptions for spgroup, natrd and brvltt. natrd refers to the minimum number of site symmetries in your structure. xred ...

Re: GaAs wurtzite

Try to construct the structure using Abinit symmetry builder instead of giving the atomic positions directly.
In the input file specify the space group and Wyckoff position (see input variables: spgroup, natrd etc).

Hi

I noticed Abinit version 7.10.5 is available for download but I cannot find any change log stating the improvement or bug fixes compared to 7.10.4.
Can any of the developers shed some light on this?

Two points: 1) Do DOS calculation in serial mode. I got wrong results previously using parallel mode, and if you browse through the forum you can also find people reporting about inconsistencies in its intensity. 2) Your fermi energy is -0.03430 Hartree. In your graph above did you shift your fermi ...

I am calculating PDOS for all the atoms of cubic phase of BaTiO3. The three oxygen atoms in cubic phase are symmetrical and identical to each other, so I expect their PDOS should be identical. However the intensity and trend of the PDOS are different for each of the three oxygen atoms. The diagram i...
