Dear VNL support team,

It was really good news to use free VNL for academic user.
I installed VNL (2015) and got the free VNL license in Feb 17. But now (March 17) when I opened the VNL , it said license was expired.

As I know of, VNL license is perpetual and unlimited.
Why does free VNL license be expired only after one month?

It is written in my license file,  "# License type          : Permanent"
but in the C:\Users\username\.quantumwise\licenses\quantum_15.0.lic, "# Demo license for ATK 15, valid until 2016-03-16"

Why the two due-dates are so different?

Thank you in advance.

Dear ATK team

I wonder if the conductance of graphene calculated in ATK results can be comparable with an experimental value.

I already know most of the measured conductance of graphene reflects incoherent scattering, thus it can not comparable with ATK results.

But, how about the case in the paper "Phase-coherent transport in graphene quantum billards" (Science, 2007, 317, 1530-1533). I think under this measurement condition, the comparison between experiment and calculation can make sense.

I wonder this comparision can be possible.

Attached is the paper titled "Phase-coherent transport in graphene quantum billards"

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your answer.

If we want to use several VNLs simultaneously, do we have to upgrade the license by buying more licenses?

Thank you in advance.

Dear ATK team

Thank you for your answer. Now it works.

I have one more question.

When VNL is opened in my account, other users  who are connected with same linux server (floating license)
cannot open VNL due to license error.

That is, even though we have a license which allows to calculate 24 cpus, only one user can use VNL (the visulaizing interface).

Is there any point we are missing, or it is a regular operating rules of the license.

Thank you in advance your reply.

Installation and License Questions / vnl error to visualize
« on: March 30, 2015, 19:35 »
Dear ATK team,

I have the floating license in my linux server.
I wonder if there is a way to apply this license of linux server to my own computer (windows 8).
This is because there is a problem to visualize my models by ATK running in linux server (as an attached picture)
I think it is because of the low performances of graphic driver/card in linux server, but upgrading the graphic driver/card  is actually impossible.


Thank you in advance your reply.

Thank you for your reply. Now I understand clearly.

By the way, what if the post process is transmission (or current)?

It also needs k-point sampling.

for example, as follows

1st SCF steps -> post process (read .nc file) -> transmission (or current)

I think k-point sampling in transmission means there is k-point integration to result in transmission.

Then, is the Brillouin-zone integration method related with the integration during transmission calculation?

Thank you in advance your reply.

Thank you for your answer Dr. Anders Blom.

I have one more question.

No the k-point integration takes place in each step, using the k-point mesh specified for the calculator.

Then, what scheme of k-point integration take place during each step of integrations?

for example,  as follows

1st SCF steps (gaussian smearing ) -> (post process) -> 2nd DOS (tetrahedron scheme)

In this case, is the final DOS  meaningful though two different integration schemes are applied?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Dear ATK team,

Thank your for your reply.

Because I'm not used to the real space based computational codes,
I've tried to understand the concepts introduced in [ J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, 2002, 14, 2745, M. Soler et al.].

Followed by the first question, I have another one.

Does your answer mean Brillouin-zone integration not occurs until the end of the SCF process?

If you have problem to explain explicitly, please let me know appropriate references. It would really help me to understand.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Dear ATK team,

Based on my knowledge, there will be k-point integration (as gaussian smearing or tetrahedron methods) in every SCF steps in periodic system calculation.

When we calculate DOS by different k-point integration schemes (gaussian smearing or tetrahedron method), we can use .nc file  of the previous SCF results.
I think if DOS by certain k-point integration scheme should be meaningful, the SCF calculations also performed by the same integration scheme.

However, I don't know what integration scheme operate during SCF calculations which occur far before the DOS calculations.

Thus, I'd like to know what is the default k-point integration method during SCF calculations in ATK.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Dear ATK team,

I have reproduced a recent published paper of Gao et al. (APL Materials, 2, 056105 (2014),  http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4876635)

They calculated contact resistance by the ATK code, as shown in eq. (1), I wonder how to get the contact resistance in ATK code.

I cannot find exact contact resistance but the Transmission coefficient.

Is the transmission coefficient related with the Contact resistance?

And another question is how to figure out the ATK code the contact resistance at 0 V bias.

To my knowledge, dI/dV shows conductance after I-V calculation.

Does the contact resistance mean the dI/dV value at 0 V after successive bias calculation?

If so, I'd like to know how much interval bias is resonable to calculation dI/dV.


Thank you in advance for your answers.

General Questions and Answers / polarization quantum
« on: April 3, 2014, 16:21 »
Dear ATK team,

After I calculated 'polarization', I got several polarization values.
Among them, I understood pi(ionic), pe(electronic), Pt(pi+pe), and total fractional and cartesian polarizations.
But I cannot understood 'polarization quantum'. It has same unit C/m^2 as the total cartesian polarization, but the value(order of magnitude) are totally different.
I wonder what is the difference between total cartesian polarization and polarization quantum, and what is the real polarization value which can be comparable with experimental data.

Thank you for your answer in advance.

General Questions and Answers / Polarzation, kpoint grid set
« on: March 24, 2014, 07:36 »
Dear ATK team,

I tried to calculate polarization which using Berry phase calculation.
Users only can put k-point sampling values in ATK script generator.
As I know, kpoint has typical format as "AxBxC", but in the polarization part of the script generator
there was 3x3 matrix.
At first I put my kpoint values in the  diagonal part, but all other part (off-diagonal terms) to be one.
as " 4  1   1
      1  12  1
      1   1   6 "
After that, I switched the off-terms to be 5, and calculated again.
as " 4  5  5
      5  12 5
      5   5  6 "

The final polarization values are different with respect to each off-diagonal term of kpoint matrix.
I wonder the meaning of off-diagonal term in kpoint 3x3 matrix.

How I should set the kpoints to calculate polarization?

Thank you in advance.
