[Wien] negative eps-1 and very large value of eps-2

If your case is spinpolarised why don't you run
lapw1 -dn
before running lapwso ?

Betreff: Re: [Wien] negative eps-1 and very large value of eps-2

Dear Prof Peter and Gavin,

I have followed all of your advice (mentioned at the end of this email)  but still, I am getting negative eps-1 and very high value of eps-2.
[Wien2k_17.1 with joint.f provided by you in the list]
[case is -sp+-so for PbCrO3]


If I do not add plasma frequency and keep TETRA  0,000  then eps looks better than other situations (see TEST1)


my case.inkram is (I did many test with every possible combination but all eps looks wrong, some test are kept below this standard procedure):


after plasma frequency

  0.1    Gamma: broadening of interband spectrum
  0.0    energy shift (scissors operator)
  1      add intraband contributions? yes/no: 1/0
 1.57 1.57 1.13   plasma frequencies  (from joint, opt 6)                        >>> my plasma frequency was   2.4745   2.4745  1.2914
  0.20 0.20 0.20  Gammas for Drude terms



the process that I followed

x lapw1  -up
x lapwso -up
changed TERTA to 101.0
x lapw2 -so -fermi -up
x optic -so -up
x joint -up (switch 6)
x joint -up (switch 4)
x kram -up (with case.inkram  file with plasma frequency as mentioned above)



What  I am getting is:

Dear Prof Peter and Gavin,

Following your advice and suggestions mentioned in the various threads on the list, I have calculated the epsilon. I am getting negative eps-2.  I used TETRA 101.0 in case.in2/c as adviced by you in my previous query and on the below thread:

https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg14472.html


It will not matter too much, but in principle for metals and half-metals 101 is more "save", because with the Blöchl-correction "negative occupation numbers" could occur, leading to a "negative eps-2".


What I am getting is :

Could you please tell me why I am getting negative eps-2?

My system is half metal (with -sp calculation) and I am doing -sp+-so calculations.

I used new joint.f as provided by Prof. Peter on Wien2k_17,1.
