Dear Prof. and Wien
user:


I want to test the surface energy's covergence; according to the
suggestions
at this list,I do the following
calculations:


slab with : 7 \ 9 \ 11 atom
layers
           each  model  in  15 \ 20 \ 25 bohr vacuum
thickness


the result list
here:



E_slab

vacuum    7(layers)       9(layers)
11(layers)
15 -48168.15027 -61930.51462 -75692.87704

20 -48168.14974 -61930.51284 -75692.87596

25 -48168.14885 -61930.51269 -75692.87490






surface energy (E_slab - n*
E_bulk)
            7          9
11
15        0.21361    0.23894     0.26620

20        0.21414    0.24072     0.26728

25        0.21503    0.24087     0.26834



RKM =
6

k-points


8(7*7*1)

my questions
are:

  1) why the energy increases when the vacuum thickness
increases?
  2) then  why the surface energy insreases when the atom layers
increases?
  3) then how to judge the  vacuum thickness is
enough,
     and the atom layers is
enough?


Can somebody give me some advices? Thanks very
much!


also I check the :VZERO, but it is too different from bulk system, tomorrow
I will give the
:VZERO numerical
value


the attachments are  struct files
!

Best!

Pengfei
