Re: all frequencies real in a dymmatrix calculation
[quote=graeme post_id=8885 time=1491307651 user_id=2] Ok, but you can't relax to a saddle point with conjugate gradients. This will take you farther from the saddle. You need a method which converges to a saddle, such as a min-mode following method. Perhaps simpler is to continue your NEB ...

Re: all frequencies real in a dymmatrix calculation
As I told you in my first post, I relaxed the saddle point with EDIFF = 1E-6 and EDIFFG = -0.001. The INCAR file used was: NPAR = 2 ISTART = 0 ENCUT = 479 PREC = Acc EDIFF = 1E-6 EDIFFG = -0.001 NSW = 100 IBRION = 2 ISIF = 2 ISYM = 0 SMASS = 2 ISMEAR = 2 SIGMA = 0.2 POTIM = 0.25 IOPT = 2 RWIGS = 1 ...

Re: all frequencies real in a dymmatrix calculation
Dear Graeme, Thank you very much for your help. Please find attached the original NEB calculation with the minimum amount of files that I think are necessary to check it. Please remember that I re-relaxed the equilibrium and saddle points with much more demanding conditions subsequently. I look ...

all frequencies real in a dymmatrix calculation
Hello everybody! I am studying a bcc system with a monovacancy. The goal is to find the prefactor, so I first perform a NEB calculation, by means of the compiled VASP TST binary, in order to find the saddle point. All calculations are well-converged both at the minimum and the saddle point (EDIFF ...

prefactor calculation
Hello everybody! I am studying the system bcc-tungsten with a trivacancy. The goal is to find the prefactor, so I first perform a NEB calculation in order to fix the saddle point. Next I run the dymseldsp script and the DISPLACECAR file is obtained, so I now proceed to run VASP again. Finally the ...
