Task

Similar setup as for Ni 100 surface relaxation.
Again 2 of 5 layers relaxed.
$(1-.444)\cdot 5.196 \cdot 3.53 \approx 10.2$ $\AA$ of vacuum.

INCAR

general:
  ISTART = 0
  ICHARG = 2
  SYSTEM = clean (111) surface
  ENMAX = 270
  ISMEAR = 2 ; SIGMA = 0.2
  ALGO = Fast
  EDIFF = 1E-6
    
dynamic:
  NSW = 100
  POTIM = 0.8
  IBRION = 1

Same INCAR file as for Ni 100 surface relaxation, but spin polarization neglected.

Calculation

N.B.: The setup for the calculation of the "bulk" energy can be found in the Ni111clean_rel/bulk subdirectory of the tar file.

The sample output for the forces should look like the following:

POSITION                                       TOTAL-FORCE (eV/Angst)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     0.00000      0.00000      0.00000         0.000000      0.000000      0.178848
     0.00000      1.44112      2.03805         0.000000      0.000000     -0.060127
     1.24804      0.72056      4.07609         0.000000      0.000000      0.004418
     0.00000      0.00000      6.11522         0.000000      0.000000      0.036384
     0.00000      1.44112      8.14905         0.000000      0.000000     -0.159523
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   total drift:                               -0.000084      0.000107     -0.017457

Forces are already small at the beginning (small relaxations for compact surfaces).

For surface energy non-spin-polarized bulk nickel as reference:
- $\sigma^{\mathrm{unrel}} = \frac{1}{2} (-25.731 - 5 \cdot (-5.407)) = 0.65$ eV.
- (111) surface more stable than (100) surface.
