[Wien] plz help required

[arqum hashmi]

Thanks a lot Sir Laurence Marks,

Sir,as you advisedto me, i have done already some of these things. i will do all of these as you recommended.
in this case, you suggested that may be i didn't put the correct format for these two files.

i am very grateful to you.


Highly Regards
Arqum Hashmi

Some programs in Wien2k are flexible about the format of the input
files; others are not. Almost certainly you have made a mistake in the
format of case.inorb, for instance not enough spaces, not the right
number of lines with the "U" or something else. Please read the
userguide carefully.

Calculating an oxide surface is not so simple, and doing it with LDA+U
is more complicated. Some suggestions:

a) Do a simple bulk calculation with LDA+U first, so you understand
it. For certain you need to find the appropriate unit cell with LDA+U
(volume optimization) as this is going to be different from that for
LDA/GGA. If you do not have the appropriate parameters in the plane of
the surface your results will be wrong, not because Wien2k is wrong
but because you did the calculation wrong.

b) I strongly recommend that you use a cell with inversion symmetry.
In a very few cases (e.g. ZnO) this is not possible, but in general it
is. Calculations with inversion symmetry are much faster and can be
more accurate. It takes a bit more work to set one up, but it will pay
off in the long run.

c) For a surface you have to do an optimization of the internal
positions -- in general these will be quite different from those in
the bulk. I strongly suggest that you work through a simple
optimization using the userguide first. For a novice a recommend PORT;
for the expert MSR1a. Then transfer what you have learned to the
surface and refine first with GGA (PBE, PBEsol, WC), change the
in-plane lattice parameters if needed and refine again with LDA+U.

d) I hope you have carefully checked the literature to see what the
experimental structure is for your oxide. Oxide surfaces can be very
complicated and you can end up spending a long time dong a calculation
which is not relevant. There are a lot of irrelevant DFT calculations
of oxide surfaces in the literature.
