[Wien] a problem in TELNES.2

[Jorissen Kevin]

Hello,
 
first of all : the current version of TELNES2 that is included in your wien-package is a temporary version which should only be used for dipole rule calculations.  The final version will be available soon.
Additionally, TELNES2 can calculate DOS itself, and (in contrast with its predecessor TELNES), the call to tetra is not necessary anymore.
With those remarks in mind, I think the procedure that you followed is okay.
 
 
Now, it seems that the problem in your calculation is actually with lapw2 - not with telnes2!
Perhaps you could start by checking your help-files (/home/rjxiao/wien2k_05/work/NbB2/./NbB2.help032 ) for any non-numeric characters?  Do you have ghostbands?
 
ISPLIT 88 is an obsolete function (as far as ELNES is concerned) and should not be used at all.  It was present in old TELNES versions, but was never reliable.  That is why the new TELNES2 does not tolerate it.
 
 
Although I think that at the moment you are facing problems with lapw2 and not with telnes2, I admit that the current status of the telnes program is confusing, and am available to assist you with your elnes calculation if necessary.  (But first, we have to make it past lapw2!)
 
 
kind regards,

Dear all,

I met some problems when I use the TELNES.2 in the lasted version of Wien2k_05.6. I want to calculate an orientation sensitive spectra of a hexagonal structure (NbB2). After "run_lapw", I edit the case.struct file by changing the ISPLIT into 99, then run "x lapw1" by a full k mesh. Then I recompile the SRC_lapw2 and SRC_tetra by LXDOS=3, and run "x lapw2 -qtl", but following error occurs:
--------------------------
forrtl: severe (64): input conversion error, unit 1002, file /home/rjxiao/wien2k_05/work/NbB2/./NbB2.help032
Image              PC                Routine            Line        Source
Unknown            0000000000000001  Unknown               Unknown  Unknown

Stack trace terminated abnormally.
--------------------------
It seems that it can not write a partial charge file correctly.If I change the ISPLIT into 88, the "lapw2 -qtl" can run well, but "x telnes2" gives an error message which says that "ISPLIT is not 99".By the way, when calculate the averaged spectra which doesn't consider the orientation, everything runs well.

I feel puzzled about it. Is there any mistake when I use the program? Can you give me any information about how to solve that? I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much!
