UT theoretical chemistry code forum

Dear All,

I am doing bader analysis. Even when I use LAECHG = True, then get CHGCAR_SUM and doing bader analysis I got zero charge, volume, and distance for atom number 108 (attached CHGCAR, AECCAR0, AECCAR2).

How to fix that?

It looks fine to me. Here is ACF.dat from the command

bader CHGCAR -ref CHGCAR_sum

Thank you.

Is it normal that CHARGE, MIN DIST, and ATOMIC VOL are zero for atom number 108?

Ah, my bad, I didn't read your post carefully.

Ok, I took a closer look and it seems that the atoms are not in the same locations in your AECCAR? files as in your CHGCAR file.

Thank you.

It is strange, the files are from the same converged job.

How can that happen?
