INCAR

  ICHARG = 11
general:
  SYSTEM = clean (100) nickel surface
  ENMAX  = 270
  ISMEAR = 2 ; SIGMA = 0.2
  ALGO = Normal
    
spin:
  ISPIN = 2
  MAGMOM = 5*1
    
  LORBIT = 11

• ICHARG=11: Read in charge density (1) and do not update it (+10) - non-selfconsistent run.
• N.B.: You need to topy the CHGCAR file of example Ni 100 surface DOS into the directory where you want to run this calculation.

• 13 k points along line $\Gamma - X - M - \Gamma$.
• The coordinates are given in reciprocal coordinates.
• Each point has weight 1.

Calculation

• In the OUTCAR file the status message on the actual job (non-selfconsistent calculation) is given:

...
Static calculation
charge density remains constant during run
spin polarized calculation
...

• The bandstructure can be plotted using p4vasp:

• The example output for the projected bandstructure consists mainly out of bulk like bands. The Yelllow dots mark the surface loclizations:
