[QE-users] NEB : path length is increasing

Mon Oct 26 21:03:57 CET 2020

Dear Omer, dear all,
I  would like to remind that there is absolutly no reason that the path returned by the NEB is the real  MEP.
The relaxed mep totaly depends on the initial guess of the MEP, which is most of the time a linear interpolation between the initial and final states, except if the user has some intuitive intermediate image.

 Dear Omer,

You have shown a figure of a MEP. Most probably image 4 is either R (reactant)
or P (product). In one case im2=R, im3=TS, im4=P (and im6 is the diffused P),
the other possibility is that im2=diffused R and im4=R then im6=P (im5=TS).
Try to judge which is which, then use R and P to start a NEB similarly to
your very first input that you have shared (running without a CI).

As for your second question, summation of barriers is not very theoretical.
The "bottleneck" in a multistep reaction is related the highest barrier.
If you are able to derive an Arrhenius-like (or better) rate constant (k)
for each step, then -for consecutive reactions- your effective k = k1*k2*...
Derive the effective barrier if you like :)

HTH,

Dissociation occurs in image 2 immediately , image 3,4,5 shows diffusion of SO to most stable site (a bit far site , 3 Angstrom), (image 5 is rotation of SO), image 5 shows diffusion of "O" and again rotation of "SO" .

I didn't consider the former (most stable site) because the distance between molecule and surface is 3.5 A , , however for the less stable site , the distance is 1.5 A, so i thought it is not proper to consider this physisorbed state in NEB, Please correct me if i'm wrong.
