== Calculation

  • The bash-script loop.sh runs fcc Si at several different lattice constants (3.5-4.3 Å) and collects free energy versus lattice constant into the file SUMMARY.fcc
#! /bin/bash
BIN=/path/to/your/vasp/executable
rm WAVECAR SUMMARY.fcc
for i in  3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 ; do
cat >POSCAR <<!
fcc:
   $i
 0.5 0.5 0.0
 0.0 0.5 0.5
 0.5 0.0 0.5

!
echo "a= $i" ; mpirun -np 2 $BIN
E=`awk '/F=/ {print $0}' OSZICAR` ; echo $i $E  >>SUMMARY.fcc
done
cat SUMMARY.fcc

Mind: You will have to set the correct path to your VASP executable (i.e., BIN), and invoke VASP with the correct command (e.g., in the above: mpirun -np 2).

  • To make a quick plot of SUMMARY.fcc try:
gnuplot
gnuplot> plot "SUMMARY.fcc" using ($1):($4) w lp
