Task
Relaxation of the bond length of an oxygen dimer.
Input
POSCAR
O dimer in a box 1.0 ! universal scaling parameters 8.0 0.0 0.0 ! lattice vector a(1) 0.0 8.0 0.0 ! lattice vector a(2) 0.0 0.0 8.0 ! lattice vector a(3) 2 ! number of atoms cart ! positions in cartesian coordinates 0 0 0 ! first atom 0 0 1.22 ! second atom
INCAR
SYSTEM = O2 dimer in a box ISMEAR = 0 ! Gaussian smearing ISPIN = 2 ! spin polarized calculation NSW = 5 ! 5 ionic steps IBRION = 2 ! use the conjugate gradient algorithm
KPOINTS
Gamma-point only 0 Monkhorst Pack 1 1 1 0 0 0
Calculation
- We have selected in the INCAR file that geometry relaxation should be performed. In this case 5 ionic steps (NSW=5) should be done at most. For the relaxation a conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm is used (IBRION=2).
- The CG algorithm requires line minimizations along the search direction. This is done using a variant of Brent's algorithm. (Picture missing)
- Trial step along search direction (gradient scaled by POTIM)
- Quadratic or cubic interpolation using energies and forces at and allows to determine the approximate minimum
- Continue minimization, if app. minimum is not accurate enough

Explanation of the output:
- The quantitiy trial-energy change is the change of the energy in the trial step.
- The first value after 1. order is the expected energy change calculated from the forces change of positions - central difference.
- The second and third value correspond to change of positions and change of position.
- The value step is the estimated size of the step leading to a line minimization along the current search direction. harm is the optimal step using a second order (or harmonic) interpolation.
- The trial step size can be controlled by the paramter POTIM (the value step times the present POTIM is usually optimal).
- The final positions after the optimization are stored in the CONTCAR file. One can copy CONTCAR to POSCAR and continue the relaxation.
