HI.........
I am a new user of VNL. I trying to use this from past 8 months. I am working on molecular junctions. My central molecules are Quite large like 40- 200 atoms. I am confused that how many layers of electrodes to be attached for Different types of molecules. i.e what is the relation between no of atoms in the molecule with the no. of layers of electrodes.
Like when I am trying for molecule with 46 atoms.
1. I have attached 5 layers on each side, then it give error that no. of atoms are not equal on both sides of electrodes. But they are same in script.
2. If I put less no layers then molecule breaks.
3. If i take 8 layers then total no. of molecules is very large and it will not converge easily.
These are problems with such a small system of 46 atoms.
then what about larger molecules like 129 atoms
for this I have put 11 layers on each side still it gives same error.
I don't know what to do.
please help me if anyone knows...
I am attaching XYZ file, inp file and error messages with this post
