Re: Bader calculation not converging for a geometry optimized structure

Dear Graeme,

My apologies for the confusion. I will try to be as specific as possible, while keeping this short.
Usually, the electronic convergences during a Bader calculation would terminate well below the number of NELM steps assigned in the INCAR.
However, for this particular structure, it ...

Bader calculation not converging for a geometry optimized structure

Dear All,

I have been unable to obtain a Bader charge calculation convergence for one of my systems consisting of a single-layer MoS2 on a sapphire substrate, following the PAW calculations by adding the LAECHG=.TRUE. approach.
Of all the structures that I have simulated for this project, only ...

Re: Regarding the different optimizers in CI-NEB

Dear Prof. Graeme,

Thank you for the feedback.
I have shortened the path with a new set of 5 images, and I believe the structures/atoms are continuous.
The images were computed with IOPT7 with IBRION3 until the forces converge to 1eV/Ang, no hiccups up to this point.

Following the initial ...

Regarding the different optimizers in CI-NEB

Dear all,

I would like to use the CI-NEB method to obtain the activation barrier for a molecule dissociation.
From the converged CI-NEB calculation (2 images), the two images I obtained are rather similar to my reactant (image-01) and product (image-02). Thus, I could not obtain the saddle ...
