Cd Si
Description: the bash-script loop.sh runs Si in the cubic diamond (cd) structure at several different lattice constants (5.1-5.7 Å) and collects free energy versus lattice constant into the file SUMMARY.dia

- And a simple bash-script to loop over several lattice constants: loop.sh
#! /bin/bash

echo "a= $i" ; mpirun -n 2 $BIN

cat SUMMARY.dia
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.dia try:
gnuplot gnuplot> plot "SUMMARY.dia" using ($1):($4) w lp
