How to apply the methods DFT+U and EECE for corretated electrons


We take the SrVO3 as an example and we applly the both methods for 3d electrons of Vanadium.


You need the following files:

SrVO3.struct
SrVO3.indm[c]
SrVO3.inorb
SrVO3.ineece
parallel   ----> for 4  processors and you need to rename the file to .machines  
                      to make it invisible.

You will find these files in the following link:

Procedure:

init_lapw -b -sp    ---> use the default values
runsp_lapw -p  ---> for the PBE calculation
if the calculation doesn't converge after 40 default iterations you can continue it with more iterations using this command:
 runsp_lapw -p -i 50 -s lapw1
- calculate the quantity that you want to study and check the result
- save_lapw -d pbe  ---> for the pbe calculation
- runsp_lapw -p -orb --->    PBE+U calculation 
- calculate the quantity that you want to study and check the result
- save_lapw -d pbe-u  ---> for the PBE+U calculation
- runsp_lapw -p -eece  ---> for the PBE+EECE calculation
- calculate the quantity that you want to study and check the result

NB:In addition for present calculations the radius of the cation atomic sphere must be considered, as only within the sphere the EECE and LDA+U potentials are considered.

NB: Try to calculate the DOS and compare the results with those available in this link:
