[CP2K:10630] Broyden Mixing - K Points and Smear for Surface Energy Calculations

[hut... at chem.uzh.ch]

Hi

please use the MIXING section in SCF. This input works fine for me
with 4x4x4 kpoints.

    &SCF
      ADDED_MOS 32
      SCF_GUESS ATOMIC
      EPS_SCF 1.0E-8
      MAX_SCF 100
      &SMEAR ON
        ELECTRONIC_TEMPERATURE 1000.0E+0 !Kelvin
        METHOD FERMI_DIRAC
      &END SMEAR
      &MIXING
        METHOD BROYDEN_MIXING
      &END
    &END SCF

regards

Juerg

Subject: [CP2K:10630] Broyden Mixing - K Points and Smear for Surface Energy Calculations

Hi Everyone,

 I am using cp2k 5.1 and I am attempting to run surface energy calculations however I have run into a few issues. The first issue I am having is I am trying to use Broyden mixing and multiple k points. This causes an error "Method not implemented for k-points". Unfortunately it appears this is the case for every mixing method outside of Direct_P mixing. Is there a way to use Broyden mixing with multiple k points or can it only be run with a single gamma point? I attached the input file and output file for this run (the output is hafnia.SE.Broy.Kpoints.out).

Although this initial calculation was done on a single unit cell with full periodicity and will converge nicely (see output file hafnia.SE.Broy.out commented out smear and k points sections) I will want to run calculations with smearing because of surface interface. I do not understand why using an effective electronic temperature of 1 K cannot converge for a calculation that with absolutely no smearing converges very quickly. (see output file hafnia.SE.Broy.Smear.out).

Thank you,
Jonathan Kaufman
