VASP calculations

Run VASP calculations at this step.

  • Prepare INCAR, POSCAR, POTCAR, and KPOINTS.

  • Run VASP:

    mpirun vasp_std
    

We provide examples of INCAR in the agat/default_parameters.py, also shown below:

SYSTEM = ML

Start parameter for this Run:
  ISTART = 0
  ICHARG = 2
  INIWAV = 1

Electronic Relaxation:
  ENCUT = 500
  PREC = Accurate
  ALGO = Fast
  NELM = 300
  NELMIN = 4
  EDIFF = 1E-06
  GGA = PE
  LREAL = A

Ionic Relaxation:
  EDIFFG = -0.05
  NSW = 300
  IBRION = 2
  ISIF = 3
  POTIM = 0.5

DOS related values:
  SIGMA = 0.1
  ISMEAR = 1

Spin polarized:
  ISPIN = 2
  MAGMOM = placeholder

File writing
  LWAVE = .FALSE.
  LCHARG = .FALSE.

Calculation of DOS
  NPAR = 8
  LORBIT = 11
  NCORE = 1
  IVDW = 11

The KPOINTS:

Automatic mesh
