Calculation

  • To determine the equilibrium volume we can:
    • Fit the energz over a certain volume range to an equation of state (see cd_Si.
    • Alternatively we relax the structure with VASP "on the fly" (IBRION=2 and ISIF=3)
  • From equation of states we determine lattice parameter of (volume scan plus Murnaghan EOS using ENMAX=400).
