We are using a POSCAR file with a single atom. Sufficiently large lattice parameters are selected so that no (significant) interactions between atoms in neighbouring cells is present.

INCAR

SYSTEM = O atom in a box
ISMEAR = 0  ! Gaussian smearing

KPOINTS

Gamma-point only
 0
Monkhorst Pack
 1 1 1
 0 0 0

For atoms or molecules a single k point is sufficient. When more k-points are used only the interaction between atoms (which should be zero) is described more accurately.

writing wavefunctions

The example output (stdout) for the O atom was obtained using VASP version 5.4.1. The initial charge corresponds to the charge of isolated overlapping atoms (POTCAR file). For the first 4 steps the charge remains fixed, then the charge is updated (rms(c) column)

Short explanation of the symbols in the OSZICAR and stdout file:

N	iteration count
E	total energy
dE	change of total energy
d	eps change of the eiegenvalues (fixed potential)
ncg	number of optimisation steps $\mathrm{H} \psi$
rms	total residual vector $\sum_{nk} w_{k} f_{nk} (\mathrm{H} - \epsilon_{nk}) \psi_{nk}$
rms(c)	charge density residual vector

OUTCAR

The individual parts of the OUTCAR file are separated by lines.

----------------------------------------------------------

The OUTCAR file is divided into the following parts:

Reading INCAR, POTCAR, POSCAR

Nearest neighbor distances and analysis of symmetry

Verbose job information

Information on lattice, k points and positions

Information on the basis set (number of plane waves)

Non-local pseudo potential information

Information for each electronic step (one line in OSZICAR)
