The calculations consist in principle of two steps:
- Self-consistent electronic cycle with core hole.
- Calculation of dielectric function of core electron with the band structure from the SCF run.
In the VASP implementation these two steps are all done in a single calculation. To run a successful XAS calculation the following steps have to be made:
- Make super cell for structure.
- Select one atom in the POSCAR file that will carry the core-hole and provide a POTCAR file for that atom.
- Specify atom, and channels in the INCAR file corresponding to the core hole.
- Set important INCAR flags controlling the XAS calculations and run calculation.
