First, I activated the U calculation machinaries by applying very small U value (10^-8).Then I perturbed the inequivalent open-shell Hubbard sites and got 1st shot of U values (for different sites). Then I am supposed to use new values of U and again go for the 2nd shot U calculation.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Now my questions are.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">1) Should i relax the structure with U values calculated from 1st shot then go for the 2nd shot? Or i just simply plugin the new U, do SCF and go for the 2nd shot U-calculation. Dr. Iurii Timrov mentioned to relax the structure everytime with new U values in his paper. But my structure is large and has 52 Hubbard sites (159 total atoms).</div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>there is no rule. depends on your system and on what you want to do. In principles there is always some depenence of U on the structure (and viceversa). How large this dependence is nobody knows before testing.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"></div><div dir="auto">2) As i mentioned earlier that my system has 52 inequivalent Hubbard sites, so 1st i perturbed the all sites and get the 1st shot of U. Then i relaxed the structure with new U's. Now after the relaxation when i check the inequivalent Hubbard sites for 2nd shot U calculation (by hp.x), it is now showing i have 48 Hubbard sites (instead of 52) to be perturbed. My question is, should i need to perturb the 52 sites (determined during the 1st shot) or 48 sites (determined during 2nd shot calculation)?</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>probably your crystal has become more symmetric and Hubbard atoms got a more similar environment to one another. that can happen. Probably your starting structure was a bit disordered and its now going to the near symmetric minimum of energy. Just guessing.</div><div><br></div><div>Please add your affiliation.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div>Matteo<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanking you</div></div></div>
