  • Ni lattice constant of 3.53.
  • 1 atom per layer: p(1x1) cell.
  • 5 nickel layers.
  • First two layers (of one side) relaxed.
  • vacuum.

general:
  SYSTEM = clean Ni(100) surface
  ENCUT = 270 
  ISMEAR = 2 ; SIGMA = 0.2
  ALGO = Fast
  EDIFF = 1E-6
    
spin:
  ISPIN=2
  MAGMOM = 5*1
    
dynamic:
  NSW = 100
  POTIM = 0.8
  IBRION = 1
  • Initial charge-density in startjob from overlapping atoms.
  • Default energy cut-off of 270 eV.
  • MP-smearing (metal).
  • Spin-polarized calculation with initial moment of 1.
