Task
Performing a spin-polarized low symmetry calculation of a single oxygen atom in a non cubic box to get the right energy minimum.
Input
POSCAR
O atom in a box 1.0 ! universal scaling parameters 7.0 0.0 0.0 ! lattice vector a(1) 0.0 7.5 0.0 ! lattice vector a(2) 0.0 0.0 8.0 ! lattice vector a(3) 1 ! number of atoms cart ! positions in cartesian coordinates 0 0 0
INCAR
SYSTEM = O atom in a box ISMEAR = 0 ! Gaussian smearing SIGMA = 0.01 ISPIN = 2 ! spin polarized calculation
KPOINTS
Gamma-point only 0 Monkhorst Pack 1 1 1 0 0 0
Calculation
- In the GGA most atoms are characterized by a symmetry broken solution. VASP, however, symmetriyes the charge density according to the determined symmetry of the cell. Check the OUTCAR file, to see what symmetry VASP is using.
- To lower the symmetry, simply change the lattice parameters to 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0 in the POSCAR file (see the example file above) and reduce SIGMA to SIGMA=0.01 in the INCAR file.
- By rerunning VASP one finds a much lower energy:
