[QE-users] the magnetic anisotropy energy

[BARRETEAU Cyrille]

I did not read the paper in details but their analysis is mainly based on LDOS (in vacuum above adatom) and not PDOS (projected on atomic orbitals).

LDOS can be obtained with QE via pp.x.

Dear Cyrille,

Thank you for the information. I'm gonna try.

I beg to be excused!
 I have another question, I would calculate or plot the pics of the resonance, the coupling of d-orbital-adatom with the sp-band surface atoms using quantum espresso ( my study based on the article: PHYSICAL REVIEW B 73, 195421 (2006) ), I already calculate the PDOS and DOS but didn't get right the pics of the resonance. Most of the authors calculated it using the KKR method based on full-potential, I couldn't find any article using the quantum espresso method for this study,  is it because can not calculate with pseudopotential?

Thank you.

Dear Imane


Each system is a bit specific and you should test the variation of MAE with respect to the number of  (scf and nscf) k-points.

nscf k-points is probably the most crucial since it involves SOC.

For a simple surface I would say that a minimum of 70x70 kpoints is necessary.

But you should really plot MAE(nk).


Please sign your posts.

Objet : the magnetic anisotropy energy

 Dear Cyrille
I would calculate the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE)  as a function of the number of atomic layers N using the force theorem in quantum espresso for Fe/Au(111). I already, know the steps of how to calculate it, but how do I get the right magnetic anisotropy energy  .there are convergence tests for K-points in scf and nscf ? and how I chose the K-points in scf calculation
