set different Hubbard U for same element in a model
« on: September 17, 2015, 15:25 »
Dear staff, I followed this tutorial (http://quantumwise.com/documents/tutorials/latest/InAs-2D/index.html/chap.slab.html) and tried to apply different Hubbard U parameters for same kind of aotms which hold different positions. Here, let me take CoO as an example. The model in the input file shown below contains two cobalt ions and two oxygen anions.
Code

I applied different U values for the two Co, with first one was 3.1 and second one 4.1 as presented in the input file.  However, it failed with these errors:

Note: Here, VNL-13.8.1 and VNL-2014.3 were both tested. I think this is caused by the Tag lines in the py files. After removing the lines, it can run. Hope experts in Quantumwise can help give a solution. Thank you in advance!

Re: set different Hubbard U for same element in a model

Yes, you are right, this does not work properly. It appears that VNL allows you to set up this calculation, but ATK does not assign the basis sets correctly. Therefore, you are currently not able to assign different Hubbard U parameters to identical elements in the same configuration, even though you correctly assign tags. So this is of course a bug. I cannot say when it will be fixed, but probably not for the upcoming 2015 release. If not, then hopefully any following release or bug-fix update.

Mind you, the concept of using different Hubbard U for atoms of the same element in different positions doesn't seem entirely sound to me...

Hi, Dr. Ander Blom, thanks for your reply.

Yes, the example shown in CoO crystal is not physical, I just used it to post the bug. ! Besides,  if you change to study CoO/Co core-shell structures, it has to be considered to set different U parameters for the cobalt atoms in core and shell. I advise you to consider such cases in future updates because they are also import.

Right, that would make sense. We'll fix the bug asap, should be simple.
