| + | Since we know, that the lattice parameter is 3.66 Angstrom, here is the structure for testing the sufficiency of the k-points sampling of the IBZ. | ||
| + | The geometry is in Cu_111.bas file: | ||
| + | 5 | ||
| + | 29 0.00000 1.49419 10.00000 | ||
| + | 29 0.00000 0.00000 12.11310 | ||
| + | 29 1.29401 0.74709 14.22620 | ||
| + | 29 0.00000 1.49419 16.33931 | ||
| + | 29 0.00000 0.00000 18.45241 | ||
| + | And the lattice vector for the Cu (111) surface is in Cu_111.lvs: | ||
| + | 2.58801 0.00000 0.00000 | ||
| + | 1.29401 2.24128 0.00000 | ||
| + | 0.00000 0.00000 99.99999 | ||
| + | The last 2 layers will be fixed during optimization, therefore FRAGMENTS file contains: | ||
| + | 0 | ||
| + | 1 | ||
| + | 2 | ||
| + | 4 1 1 1 | ||
| + | 5 1 1 1 | ||
| + | The amount of the k-points is not known, therefore one should check, whether the total energy and geometry changes with amount of the k-points. For this reason 3 files containing 8, 18 and 32 k-points: | ||
| + | Cu_111.8.kpts contains 4x4 k-points reduced to 8 k-points by inversion: | ||

| + | The fireball.in should look like this: | ||
| + | &OPTION | ||
| + | basisfile = Cu_111.bas | ||
| + | lvsfile = Cu_111.lvs | ||
| + | kptpreference = Cu_111.XXX.kpts | ||
| + | nstepf = 5000 | ||
| + | iquench = -6 ! -1 = MDmin, -6 = FIRE optimization | ||
| + | icluster = 0 | ||
| + | iqout = 1 | ||
| + | dt = 0.5 | ||
| + | &END | ||
| + | &OUTPUT | ||
| + | iwrtxyz = 1 | ||
| + | &END | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now the optimization should be performed with different k-point sampling. The total energy could be simply checked from the output file: | ||
| + | grep "ETOT" name_of_the_output_file | tail -1 | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the total energy and the geometry doesn't differ too much (comparing two different k-point sampling) then the lower amount of the k-points is considered as the sufficient one. | ||
