Unit Cell size
« on: July 1, 2020, 23:36 »
How to select the size of unit cell? I assume enough vacuum around the actual structure is needed. If my results change with change in size of unit cell, do I need to keep increasing the lattice parameters for convergence?

If you need to confirm the vacuum size around the actual structure, you can analyze the HatreeDifferencePotential or ElectrostaticDifferencePotential to see the convergence.

Thank you so much. Do you mean that these quantities should not change with further increase in size?

You will see the convergence (constant) near the boundary through the HartreeDifferencePotential or ElectrostaticDifferencePotential analysis if it has proper vacuum length.
