[Wien] Spin-Orbit compatibility - problem in WIEN2k_14

Hi Peter,
I checked, it happens after I was calculating the DOS.

when I run a new scf cycle after I was calculating the DOS, the error appears (only running x lapw2 -qtl -so and x tetra)
I checked, before the DOS there was no ghostband, however in the new scf2 file after the crash there is a ghostband announced.

If I restore the calculation (with overwriting of the files) after calculation of the DOS, then everything is fine again and the scf cycle runs smooth.

I don't remeber that I had the same problem with older Versions.

I will do some more tests if needed.

Ciao
Gerhard

Hi,

Hard to answer this, as I cannot really reproduce it.

lapw2 has got some modifications in case of SO   AND   the -qtl switch
(or when ghostbands appear and outp.f is called).

It could be that your case is such that you have qtl-b warnings ??

on unit 1001 the partial charges of the 1st atoms should be written.
unit 31 should not be used anymore.
But maybe there is a certain situation where problems can happen, but as
you said, starting with wien2k_14 from the beginning, the error cannot
be reproduced.

--------------------
Similar with your second report, since I cannot reproduce it nor know
any details, it is hard to comment on it. For sure, the format of the
case.scf file has been changed in a few places which could eventually
cause problems for certain tools.

It is for instance clear, that the "analysis" in w2web (or the
"scfmonitor" on the command line) will not work properly with "old"
scf-files.
