Dear WIEN community,

I have a problem calculating the lattice/valence contributions of the electric field gradient.

According to a short guide by Katrin Koch and Stefaan Cottenier, a normal initialization of the calculation and a SCF cycle is to be performed (no problems so far). The output of the EFG is then given as the total V_ZZ contribution.

Apparently, one can obtain the lattice and valence contributions to V_ZZ^tot by using the switch "EFG" in the case.in2 file and then running lapw2 (single program). The contributions are supposedly given in the case.output2 file.

However, when I tried this, lapw2 was aborted with the following error message:

"Error in LAPW2
 'l2main' - error reading parallel vectors"

The "normal", i.e. full SCF cycle with the TOT switch in case.in2 was carried out without any problems, this just happens when I try to run lapw2 (several cases).

Support would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Dimitri Bogdanovski
