Task

Lattice parameter optimization, calculation of the DOS and bandstructure in (spin-polarized) fcc Ni.

Input

POSCAR

fcc:
 3.53 
 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 Ni
  ISTART = 0 ; ICHARG=2
  ENCUT  =    270
  ISMEAR =    1  ; SIGMA = 0.2
  LORBIT = 11
  ISPIN = 2
  MAGMOM = 1

Initial charge-density from overlapping atoms in starting job.
Default energy cutoff of 270 eV used (ENCUT=270).
MP smearing used since we have a metal.
Spin-polarized calculation ISPIN=2, initial moments of 1 (MAGMOM=1).
Static calculation.

KPOINTS

k-points
 0
Monkhorst Pack
 11 11 11
 0  0  0

Equally spaced k mesh with 56 points in the IBZ.
Odd, $\Gamma$ -centered mesh.

Calculation

The calculations are carried out in analogy to cd Si. Please follow the instructions in that example.

Here is a sample output of the results:

-*The bash-script <tt>loop.sh</tt> runs fcc Ni at several different lattice constants (3.0-3.9 Å) and collects free energy versus lattice constant into the file SUMMARY.fcc:
-<pre>
-#! /bin/bash
-BIN=/path/to/your/vasp/executable
-rm WAVECAR SUMMARY.fcc
-for i in 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 ; do

-echo "a= $i" ; mpirun -n 2 $BIN
-E=`awk '/F=/ {print $0}' OSZICAR` ; echo $i $E  >>SUMMARY.fcc
-done
-cat SUMMARY.fcc
-</pre>
-*With the bash-scripts <tt>dos.sh</tt> and <tt>band.sh</tt> compute the DOS and bandstructure of fcc Ni, respectively.
-'''Mind''': You will have to set the correct path to your VASP executable (i.e., <tt>BIN</tt>), and invoke VASP with the correct command (e.g., in the above: <tt>mpirun -np 2</tt>).
-*To make a quick plot of SUMMARY.fcc try:
