Re: Question about dosanalyze.pl

hi, I want to calculate the d band center of the whole system, including all the atoms. What should I need type?
I type that "dosanalyze.pl d 1" and it give the only value of no. 1 atom's d band center. I want the d band center of the whole system. Waht should I do?
Thanks very much!

Incorrect vibration mode after ci-neb convergency

Re: peak of NEB barrier has multiple imaginary frequencies..

hi, Prof. graeme, you said "Then, test convergence by changing your finite difference step in the range of 0.01 to 0.001 Ang. Only if the modes do not change, can you trust them." I don't understand "the modes do not change", how should I confirm that the mode keep unchanged? Tha...

ISYM=0 or 2 for high symmetric systems

hi, I calculated a system whose energy using ISYM=2 is lower than that of ISYM=0. When doing cineb calculations, which value of ISYM should I chose? Prof. graeme suggested ISYM=0 is preferred for cineb calculations. But the endpoints is more stable using ISYM=2 that ISYM=0. Any suggestions? Thanks v...

Re: Vibrational frequency analysis for CI-NEB result

Always, I get more than one imaginary frequency when I do frequency calculations for the converged saddles.
Can you give suggestions for getting only one imaginary frequency? Thank you very much!

Re: Two saddle points along the CI-NEB images

Thanks! The image 5 cannot be converged at EDIFFG=0.02 and it oscillates at the forces of 0.06 although I have tried many kinds of optimizers. Further, I have used four images to CI-NEB calculations and it has converged like this: 0 0.019203 -156.342942 0.000000 1 0.038514 -156.241991 0.100951 2 0.0...

Re: Empty MODECAR

hi, sungeng
"I just tried to replace my script neb2dim.pl and modemake.pl with the revised ones 835 and 806 by Henkelman group, and now it works well."

How to get the revised ones 835 and 806? Thanks very much!

Maybe the six line of POSCARs should not contain element name.

Re: Energy and coordinates in NEB are oscillating

hi graeme, you suggested that we can freeze one atom in the same location for each image to fix the problem instead of increasing the number of images. After using nebmake.pl to generate images, we freeze one atom in their location for all images. But the locations of the same atom are different due...

the distance between images along the CNEB band

hi, In my CNEB calculation experience, I found that if I used few images (e.g. 4 images) and the distance between images is large (always exceed 1.0 anstrg), and the calculations always failed. If 8 images were used, the distance between images is about 0.5 anstrg, and the calculations will converge...
