I am running wien2k version 13.1. I am trying to obtain k-selective rxes spectra through the<br>
series of commands:<br>
<br>
x txspec (this is being done in place of x initxspec)<br>
x tetra -rxesw 0.76 0.83<br>
x tetra -rxes<br>
x txspec<br>
x lorentz<br>
<br>
My case.inxs looks like this:<br>
<br>
Title: Atom 1 L3 absorption spectrum<br>

1 (n core)<br>
0 (l core)<br>

<br>
My case.int looks like this:<br>
<br>

I am using the mBJ potential and after the scf calculation, I end up with Ef = 0.4489051779 and Eg = 4.127 eV. I am using an un-shifted k-mesh. Following that I run lapw2 -qtl -p. I am trying to get rxes spectra by considering k-points only around the edge
of the conduction band. For example using E1 = 0.76 and E2 = 0.83.<br>
<br>
I run into problems with the execution of tetra -rxesw E1 E2. Since this step fails, the rest<br>
of the attempt to calculate the spectra fails. After running tetra -rxesw E1 E2 the first entry<br>
in the weighting file case.rxes will read NAN or be on the order of magnitude of 10^20, whereas all other entries seem to be on the order of 10^1 or less. For example, I tend to find something like this:<br>
<br>
$ cat case.rxes<br>
Energy 0.763 0.829 atom,column 6 3 0 0<br>
1 1 NaN NaN<br>
1 2 0.994939263910E-02 0.844427585602E+01<br>
1 3 0.835545267910E-02 0.724503898621E+01<br>
1 4 0.870894733816E-02 0.771706342697E+01<br>
1 5 0.780950719491E-02 0.698161888123E+01<br>
1 6 0.949013140053E-02 0.821397781372E+01<br>
...<br>
<br>
If I then run tetra -rxes my case.dos1eV file tends to have several (or even all) entries reading NAN in the second and third columns, or " -2.71202************** NaN" in several rows. I have tried varying the parameters in case.int and there seems
to be no effect. I have also tried varying E1 and E2 quite widely. It seem that for very large separations of E1 and E2, for example when running:<br>
<br>
x tetra -rxesw 0.5 1.5<br>
<br>
I get a sensible case.rxes file, the beginning of which is:<br>
<br>
Energy 0.500 1.500 atom,column 6 3 0 0<br>
1 1 0.100038540363E+01 0.302590393066E+03<br>

1 5 0.940963864326E+00 0.297471984863E+03<br>
1 6 0.950316071510E+00 0.298051269531E+03<br>
1 7 0.450937390327E+00 0.141126739502E+03<br>
1 8 0.470923691988E+00 0.147648559570E+03<br>
1 9 0.474452346563E+00 0.148927307129E+03<br>
....<br>
<br>
and the rest of the calculation for the DOS and spectra proceeds without trouble. Having an energy window this large is not practical for me however. In order to compare with my experimental results I need to bring the upper energy limit to about 0.83 Ry. Doing
this gives the following case.rxes:<br>
<br>
Energy 0.500 0.830 atom,column 6 3 0 0<br>
1 1 0.170639701031E+22 0.942095565796E+01<br>

1 3 0.162541195750E-01 0.901446437836E+01<br>
1 4 0.164440535009E-01 0.778677415848E+01<br>
1 5 0.144636239856E-01 0.861922359467E+01<br>
1 6 0.174109078944E-01 0.925869750977E+01<br>
...<br>
<br>
with the first entry reading xxxE+22, this already starts causing trouble for the DOS calculation. Matters only get worse if I narrow the energy range. However, it is only ever the weights in the first row that appear as NaN or xxxE+22, the rest of the file
is always sensible. Would you have a guess as to what might be causing these first few entries to consistently read NaN, etc? Or any other suggestions about how to proceed?</span></font></font></font></p>
