Dear Quantum Espresso users<br><br>I optimized the graphite bulk and
the layers were completely flat. But when I try to "relax" the graphite
surface (slab 2*2 with 3 monolayer) with 10 angstrom vacuum the layers
become extremely ripple!!! I can not find the problem. Your help would
be a great gift.<br><br><u>input file:</u><br><br>&CONTROL<br>  calculation  = "relax",<br>  pseudo_dir   = "/home/koa/soft/qe4.2/espresso-4.2/pseudo",<br>  outdir       = "/home/koa/tmp",<br>  etot_conv_thr= 1.0D-4,<br>  forc_conv_thr= 1.0D-3,<br>  nstep=150,<br>  /<br>&SYSTEM<br>  ibrav     = 4,<br>  a         = 4.9318,<br>  b         = 4.9318,<br>  c         = 16.7029,<br>  cosab     = -0.5,<br>  cosac     = 1.0,<br>  cosbc     = 1.0,<br>  nat       = 24,<br>  ntyp      = 1,<br>  ecutwfc   = 40.D0,<br>  ecutrho   = 400.D0,<br>  occupations = 'smearing'<br>  smearing ='mp', <br>  degauss = 0.01,<br>  nspin = 2,<br>  starting_magnetization(1)= 1.0,<br>  /<br>&ELECTRONS<br>  conv_thr    = 1.D-6,<br>  mixing_beta = 0.7D0,<br>  diagonalization = "david",<br>/<br>&IONS<br> ion_dynamics="bfgs"<br>/<br>ATOMIC_SPECIES<br>C  12.0107  C.star1s-pbe-rrkjus.UPF<br>ATOMIC_POSITIONS {angstrom}<br>C    0.000000    0.000000    0.000000<br>C    2.465900    0.000000    0.000000<br>C    -1.232950    2.135532    0.000000<br>C    1.232950    2.135532    0.000000<br>C    0.000000    1.423688    0.000000<br>C    -1.232950    3.559220    0.000000<br>C    2.465900    1.423688    0.000000<br>C    1.232950    3.559220    0.000000<br>C    0.000000    0.000000    3.351450<br>C    2.465900    0.000000    3.351450<br>C    -1.232950    2.135532    3.351450<br>C    1.232950    2.135532    3.351450<br>C    1.232950    0.711844    3.351450<br>C    0.000000    2.847376    3.351450<br>C    3.698850    0.711844    3.351450<br>C    2.465900    2.847376    3.351450<br>C    0.000000    0.000000    6.702900<br>C    2.465900    0.000000    6.702900<br>C    -1.232950    2.135532    6.702900<br>C    1.232950    2.135532    6.702900<br>C    0.000000    1.423688    6.702900<br>C    -1.232950    3.559220    6.702900<br>C    2.465900    1.423688    6.702900<br>C    1.232950    3.559220    6.702900<br>K_POINTS {automatic}<br>4 4 1 1 1 1<br><br><br><u>out put (optimized positions):</u><br><br>C        0.000000000  -0.000000000  -0.686394528<br>C        2.465900000  -0.003714144  -0.758610095<br>C       -1.229733457   2.137389072  -0.758610095<br>C        1.229733457   2.137389072  -0.758610095<br>C        0.000000000   1.427474855  -0.213813075<br>C       -1.229670488   3.557326573  -0.213813075<br>C        2.465900000   1.423688000  -0.285079086<br>C        1.229670488   3.557326573  -0.213813075<br>C       -0.000000000   0.000000000   3.630366631<br>C        2.465900000  -0.014904710   3.544792504<br>C       -1.220042143   2.142984355   3.544792504<br>C        1.220042143   2.142984355   3.544792504<br>C        1.220249305   0.704511250   3.106073641<br>C        0.000000000   2.847376000   3.022325711<br>C        3.711550695   0.704511250   3.106073641<br>C        2.465900000   2.862041499   3.106073641<br>C        0.000000000   0.000000000   7.468882932<br>C        2.465900000   0.008344370   7.466151214<br>C       -1.240176436   2.131359815   7.466151214<br>C        1.240176436   2.131359815   7.466151214<br>C        0.000000000   1.414904155   6.963129179<br>C       -1.240557033   3.563611923   6.963129179<br>C        2.465900000   1.423688000   6.961528237<br>C        1.240557033   3.563611923   6.963129179<br><br><br><br>Many Thanks<br>Masoud Nahali<br>Sharif University of Technology<br>                                         <br /><hr />Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. <a href='https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969' target='_new'>Get it now.</a></body>
