ABINIT Discussion Forums

Dear all
could someone give me information on how to correct at the GW-level the work-function of a metallic slab?
Abinit prints the new fermi level, but how can I calculate the new vacuum level?

Bests.

Dear Markus

I experienced the same problem, but my case was not spin-polarized.
I worked on a copper surface.

P.S
thanks for the answer at viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1653

Dear all I need to calculate the core contribution to the exchange and I have noticed that I should use the variable gw_sigxcore. As it is written in the documentation part of the code, ABINIT needs of the orbitals for the core electrons which are generated by atompaw. I feeded ABINIT with different...

Dear all I’m performing several non-collinear calculations using PAW basis-sets. Since I’m dealing with fairly big systems I thought to speed up the calculations using the K-point, G-vectors and Bands parallelization that is available since version 6.10 has been released. I have found that the numbe...

Dear all I’m dealing with big gold clusters and to speed-up calculations I need to use the K-point, G-vectors and Bands parallelization. I performed many different tests increasing the energy cutoff. With low energy cutoffs the program completes the jobs without problems. On the contrary when the cu...
