Re: Error running dimrun example VTST 2.04b & 2.03b VASP 4.6

[quote="ckande"]I also faced the same problem with VASP 5.2.12 and Intel 12.1.1.256. The issue got fixed after removing the lines with #if defined (MPI_CHAIN)... #endif in dimer.F.[/quote] I also encountered the same problem. As your suggestion, It can be solved by removing the lines of #i...

Re: The convergence problem of NEB

Dear Prof. Graeme I very appreciate your technical supports and quickly reply. Yesterday, I added more images from six to twelve in the band. However, I have some questions about the angle. you said "Once angle approaching 90 degrees, the linear approximation is breaking down" I am confuse...

Re: The convergence problem of NEB

Dear Prof. Graeme Thanks for your previous suggestions, but my ciNEB calculations are still not converged. For example: This is the vef.pl result for image 01, as you can see the forces are still oscillating. opt cycle force total energy 0 0.63030900 -145.934412 0 1 5.51628000 -145.772893 0.161519 2...

Re: The convergence problem of NEB

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I have changed EDIFF value to 1E-7 when LBFGS is empolyied, but it did'nt work.

I will try to modify INVCURV to 0.001. Thanks your suggestion.

The convergence problem of NEB

Dear Prof. Graeme Thanks for your VTST code and publications of about NEB theory. I have successfully implemented the code into VASP and also learned a lot of knowledge from the papers. Recently, I encountered convergence problems of NEB calculations. I used six images to find the reaction barriers ...
