Re: Questions about DynMat calculation of gas-phase methanol

Thank you so much. I checked carefully the frequencies that I got previously which were using Ibrion6 with isif3. In addition to the last three negative frequencies, there are some small positive frequencies. I have also tried ibrion8 with isif2 and addgrid. There are also three negative frequencies ...

Re: Questions about DynMat calculation of gas-phase methanol

Thank you so much. Do you mean that: continue with contcar (of old sigma) and the new sigma to re-optimize the structure and calculate the frequencies until convergence? With this I see only one ionic step and no further ionic relaxation for my structure. With entropy less than about 1meV/atom for ...

Re: Optimizer IOPT=2

OK thanks.

Yes, it gives images with reasonable bond distances.
So, now I will try IOPT=2 with its default settings and see.

Re: Optimizer IOPT=2

Thanks.

How can we use nebmake.py, there is no information in the online manual? Should we use after nebmake.pl?

Optimizer IOPT=2

Hello,

Is it possible to run neb directly with the optimizer IOPT=2 even if there are high forces at some images where with nebmake.pl a short distance of about 1.2 Ang between two atoms can be found?

Thanks
