<p>I would take out small clusters from your 10000 cells (possibly
saturate with H atoms if you cut covalent bonds), not relax (with
the exception of relaxing the extra H atoms you added to
saturate), compute atomic PDOS of the central atom(s) and verify
that for increasing number of atoms in the clusters these
quantities stabilize and converge.</p>
<p>if a significant size dependence results you may want to play
with the environ feature (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.quantum-environ.org/">http://www.quantum-environ.org/</a>) to
minimize boundary effects<br>

ANADANI,<br>
<br>
calculation="scf" corresponds to a minimization of
the total energy <br>
at fixed atomic positions. you chose where to put the
ions. the code <br>
does its best to return the corresponding energy.<br>
<br>
calculaiton="relax" corresponds to a series of scf
calculations, <br>
followed by forces evaluation and geometry update to
minimize the energy <br>
of the system. The code does its best to converge to a
minimum (non <br>
necessarily the global minimum) in the GS potential
energy surface.<br>
<br>
there is no temperature in any of these
calculations.<br>
<br>
if you want to simulate the system at finite
(classical) temperature <br>
for the atoms you should perform MD simlations<br>
