[Wien] Continuing confusion in dos...

Is the calculation converged or not, the message "energy in SCF NOT CONVERGED" is always
printed when only 1 or 2 iterations are done. Just check that :DIS after the single iteration is
reasonably small. What is the value?.

Your two DOS look different, but this may (mainly?) be due to the different used broadenings.

Dear Dr. Tran,

                 I have applied 4k points using the procedure as you have suggested. However, for one iteration with 4k points, it is coming as "the energy in scf is not converged". Also, the DOS looks different from 1 k points. I am attaching two plots here. Is it that, to get the correct DOS we have to run more than one iteration until the energy is converged?

Looking forward to your suggestions in this regard.

with regards,

Dear Dr. Tran,

               I have another confusion. In userguide it is written that  "Note that when -newklist is used, the total energy (:ENE in case.scf) at the 1st iteration is wrong"...whether that means that we can not use the value of total energy from this calculation, however, we can get the DOS?

Just replace the old one (in $WIENROOT) by the new one. No need to recompile. csh/tcsh/bash scripts do not need to be compiled.

How to use this script? should I copy this script in some folder (which folder?) in the parent directory of wien2k & recompile...I am using wien2k 19.1

That means that this option for run_kgenhf_lapw was not yet available for the WIEN2k release you are using. I attached the updated run_kgenhf_lapw script.

For the DOS, you need to figure out if you really need a better k-mesh. If yes, then search for information about how to choose a proper one.

Dear Dr. Tran,

                      I have tried with the command " run_kgenhf_lapw -newklist" in terminal...however, it says that the option .-newklist does not exist.

 Hence, I have done the followings
(1) Init_hf_lapw
(2) Did not change anything in case.inhf
(3) I have put nx=2, ny=2, nz=1 & for the reduced klist, again nx=2, ny=2, nz=1
(4) Eventually run " run(sp) lapw -hf -redklist -i 1
Is it correct?

looking forward to your reply.

with regards,
