Geometry optimization in Extended-Huckel method.
« on: April 22, 2016, 15:10 »
Hi,

When I tried to do geometry optimization with Extented-Huckel method for copper, the word 'OptimizeGeometry' on the script generator appeared as 'OptimizeGeometry'. Does this mean that we cannot do geometry optimize with Extended-Huckel method in ATK?

Regards,
Yasheng

Yes, that's not possible because the model doesn't contain a repulsive pair potential, so the forces cannot be computed correctly.
