Re: SSNEB for 2D material

Dear Graeme,

By the way, I found a twodim_flag hiding in chain.F which set the z component of stress to zero. So this function has already been realized in VTST code?

Re: SSNEB for 2D material

Dear Graeme,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I will look into ASE for a solution following your first suggestion. As for the second one, it seems using NEB method provided by VASP itself works for 2D material if the constr_cell_relax.F is modified. But I'm also interested in if we can realize it by ...

SSNEB for 2D material

Dear experts,

In VASP, we can optimize the lattice (only xy direction) and atomic positions of a 2D material through modifying the constr_cell_relax.F file. However, it seems this trick does not work if we turn the SSNEB on to study the phase transition of a 2D material (the z direction would be ...
