Re: What vtstcode whould work with vasp6.2.1?

Dear, Prof. Graeme.

Although the vtst6.1 didn't work, the vtstcode-182 worked well for the vasp6.2.1 compilation.
Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
Soonho

Re: What vtstcode whould work with vasp6.2.1?

I appreciate the prompt response. Currently, our license only covers VASP5.4 ~ 6.2. When I tried the vtstcode 6.4, I got the following error: dynmat.F(241): error #6457: This derived type name has not been declared. [NH_CHAINS] TYPE(nh_chains) :: NHC -----------^ dynmat.F(258): error #6784: The numb...

What vtstcode whould work with vasp6.2.1?

Dear, prof. Graeme. I'm trying to compile vasp6.2.1 with the vtst code. According to the manual, I should use vtstcode 4.1. "For vasp.6.2.1 you will need vtstcode 4.1 (revision 182)." But I can't find where I should get them. Through svn access, I was only able to get vtstcode5, vtstcode6....

Re: H2O drifting away during NEB

Dear, prof. Graeme.

Your results obviously show that it's not a problem of the pathway but the optimizer I used. I might need to use QM (or FIRE) and test those variables.

Thank you so much for your help.
Have a wonderful day & weekend!

Sincerely,
Soonho

Re: H2O drifting away during NEB

First of all, Thank you for your help. I noticed that you relaxed the structure at the neutral net charge of the system for the initial state. Since I tried to mimic the large negative potential environment, I increased the total number of electron on purpose which evokes water desorption and makes ...

Re: H2O drifting away during NEB

Thank you so much for your prompt response.
I'm also trying to see if # of images (to reduce the distance below 1 A) or LBFGS optimizer can resolve this problem.

I hope you have a lovely day!

Sincerely,
Soonho

H2O drifting away during NEB

Hello, prof. Graeme I'm struggling with proton transfer from neutral water to Cu(111). (Volmer reaction) I have 3 H2O in the system and the final state would be 2H2O(l)+OH*+H*. During the NEB, H2O drift away from the surface making high forces as follows. Step max_force barrier image delta_barrier 0...

Re: [NEB] Energy barrier depends on number of images

[quote="graeme"]Oh I see. You should use the climbing image method so that a single image will converge right to the saddle.[/quote] Dear Dr. Henkelman, Thanks for your response, again. The thing is that I already used the climbing image method as you can see the OUTCAR file. OPT: Using VA...

Re: [NEB] Energy barrier depends on number of images

[quote="graeme"]I'm looking at the energy pathway that you posted. You may view this as a single mechanism, but there is clearly an intermediate minimum along the path. I suggest minimizing that image (the 5th point in your plot) to see what minimum that corresponds to. Then, calculate sep...

[quote="graeme"]I suggest minimizing the intermediate configuration and run two separate bands of 3-5 images for each elementary step.[/quote] Thanks for the quick reply. But did you understood that the attached figure (and my question) is about energy barrier vs. reaction coordinate? Actu...

[NEB] Energy barrier depends on number of images

Hi. I'm calculating the energy barrier of CO oxidation. Although I found some posts about the appropriate number of images (3~5 or 4, 6, 8), I have a question. My calculation shows that the energy barrier depends on the number of images. (I attached a graph about it) I'm wondering that 4 images are ...
