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
