Title: Meaning of no SCF iterations
Post by: narin on September 29, 2020, 20:23
Hello

What is the usage of non-scf iterations in a DFT calculation in ATK? What is the difference of results (electron density, potential) when using SCF or noSCF iterations.

Any help will be apreciated alot.

Please see the relevant manual pages:
SCF iterations
https://docs.quantumatk.com/manual/Types/IterationControlParameters/IterationControlParameters.html
Electron density
https://docs.quantumatk.com/manual/Types/ElectronDensity/ElectronDensity.html

I am not sure what kind of potential you mean.
