Task

Computation of the bandstructure in fcc Si along L-Γ-X-U and K-Γ.

Input

POSCAR

fcc Si:
 3.9
 0.5 0.5 0.0
 0.0 0.5 0.5
 0.5 0.0 0.5
   1
cartesian
0 0 0

INCAR

System = fcc Si 
ICHARG = 11 #charge read file
ENCUT  =    240
ISMEAR = 0; SIGMA = 0.1;
LORBIT = 11

KPOINTS

k-points for bandstructure L-G-X-U K-G

  • k points along the line .
  • 10 points per line.
  • Keyword line to generate bandstructure.
  • In reciprocal coordinates.
  • All points with weight 1.
  • Example bandstructure should look like this:

CHGCAR

This calculation needs a converged charge density as input (ICHARG=11). You may use the CHGCAR file of the fcc Si DOS example.

CALCULATION

  • To copy the self-consistent charge density of example fccSidos to your current working directory, type:
cp ../fccSidos/CHGCAR .
  • You must do this otherwise VASP can not read the CHGCAR and will terminate.
  • To plot the bandstructure use p4vasp:

Mind: For this calculations you need the CHGCAR file of the fcc Si DOS example.
