[Wien] Problems in generating case.struct using shell script and overlapping of spheres with error in lapw1

Fri Feb 17 06:46:10 CET 2012

Us also appeared this error (CORE electrons leak out of MT-sphere) in earlier versions of the code (wien2k_09), was very rare, as its solution.
The solution: In the construction of  the case.struct  using  the graphical environment (w2web) do NOT enter the atomic number (Z) corresponding, simply enter only the atomic symbol. This removed the error in  lstart!!!

 For what  used old versions, if  you already have new version wien2k_11.

Now, the error in LAPW1, could be solved by adjusting the value of * RMT Kmax, considering (RMT * Kmax) / (RMTmin) = approximately 3.5 ( check mailing-list)

(excuse my bad english)

Dear Jose,
   I have tried all those also. when you give that then you will observe error in nn distances. Its not possible.

One solution would be to increase the radii of MT

>Dear Peter Blaha and wien users,

>With the above given parameters, I initiated the calculations, but when I select l start =-6 or -9 or any value between -1 to -9.9 for energy to separate core and valence states, it shows that core charge leaks out of the spheres. Then the calculations stuck there itself. The error to this is as listed below:

LSTART ENDS
0.537u 0.023s 0:00.59 93.2%	0+0k 8+0io 0pf+0w  When I perform for other compounds complexer than Bi2Se3, I resolve the problem easily by changing its RMT value or lattice parameters or the energy to separate core/valence states. Here I do not understand why this case arises. This case occurs especially for wien2k 05 to 09 version. I did the same calculation using wien2k 11 version, here I got through this problem by selecting 1.0 as the alternative option given as ALTERNATIVELY: specify charge localization (between 0.97 and 1.0) to select core state. Then once I complete initialization part and give a run scf cycles, I observe error in show dayfile as:

>I do not understand why this case is observed in this particular compound although there had been a work on the same material using wien2k code. 
>Apart from this, I have a question regarding "How to generate a case.struct without using the w2web". I hope the experts in wien2k generally use shell script rather than the interface so hopefully you can instruct the step by step commands for generating case. struct.
