<p>Dear QE experts,</p>
<p>I read about molecule deformation energy in the following
article, I believe it was computed with VASP.</p>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
DFT studies of the bonding mechanism of 8-hydroxyquinoline and
derivatives on the (111) aluminum surface.<br>
DOI:10.1039/C5CP03095A<br>
<br>
The molecule deformation energy was defined as as, E(deform mol) =
E(mol/ads) - E(mol/vac).<br>
where E(mol/vac) is the total energy of the free molecule in vacuum,
and E(mol/ads) is the total energy of the isolated molecule at the
geometry after adsorption.<br>
<br>
My question is how to get E(mol/ads) of the molecule from the full
system? I have searched the .out file for "energy" but I cannot find
energy of individual atoms in the full system so I cannot do any
summation like sumpdos.x?<br>
<br>
Can anyone help?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Rolly Ng<br>
