Error points in Band Structure of SrVO3
Date: 2016/09/03 16:38
Name: Priya Dey

Sir,

We have calculated band structure of SrVO3 by OpenMX 3.6. We have done lots of calculation by opemmx but never experienced any problem. The band structure shows many error points as pointed below figure

Can anyone pointout how to rectify the problem ?


The input file is given below.

Hi,

Instead of using the PAO and VPS files of the database 2011, I recommend to use
those of the database 2013, since they are optimized so that the erratic behavior due to
the overcompleteness can be avoided.

Also, by switching the projector expansion off as

scf.ProExpn.VNA off # default=on

the erratic behavior can be reduced.

In addition, I strongly recommend you to use OpenMX Ver. 3.7 or 3.8 because of the
computational speed and a small memory requirement.

Regards,

TO
