Dear CP2K users,

Question 1:
recently, I have found such potential in the literature:

1001670510231_.pic.jpg
It's very similar to the BUCKMORSE potential in the cp2k. But the term in the red circle is a little different,1021670837699_.pic.jpg
This term is dipole induced dipole dispersion potential based on the van der Waals interactions. So how could I deal with it?

Question 2:
I have use the GENPOT to write it by myself, but it also shows a mistake, please find it in the attachment.

Question 3:
How could I set such unit mol^1/2, in the cp2k, it shows it must be a integer.

Thank you very much!
Best Regards
Y

Hi

 

Q1: That’s most likely a typo in the paper, i.e. the exponent in the denominator is missing.

Q2: No need to do so, if my reply to Q1 is right.

Q3: Usually, FF summands have a “mol” unit with integer exponents. Most likely, you have a product of two atomic parameters in a term which causes a mol^(1/2) unit for that parameter.

 

HTH

Thank you Matthias, but in the literature, it shows also double c, so I just calculate each c1*c2 and set it as c, is ist correct?

Yes, if there is a c value given for each atomic kind, just multiply the corresponding values for each pair interaction.

Thank you a lot, it really helps. But I have met another problem by using williams potential, I have found such sentences in LocalLog files, could you please tell me, what is it mean?

It means that your input is still wrong.

I suggest that you provide the reference for the CeO2 force field for which you want to create a CP2K input file and your current input file.

ok, this is the potential reference. And please find the input file  in the attachment. My material is ceo2, I just revise the input file from the example CrO2 in the test folder.

Hi

 

There are few things which should be corrected in your input:

  • Add the CORE_CHARGE -5.38 and +0.83 for Ce and O in the &SHELL sections (see one my previous replies)
  • Remove the SCALED keyword in the &COORD section, because you specify real coordinates and not scaled ones
  • Use MULTIPLE_UNIT_CELL in &CELL and &TOPOLOGY sections. I suggest at least 4x4x4 cells because of the RCUT 10.4 A which implies a reasonable cell edge length of at least 20.8 A to avoid self interactions. GMAX has to increase correspondingly.

Optionally, I would also

  • drop the keywords KEEP_* to allow for a unconstrained relaxation
  • LBGFS could be used instead of CG as OPTIMIZER
  • drop the &CHARGE sections

Thank you very much, it works!! But still have a stupid question. For example, if I have the system ABC, the literature only give the core shell model parameter for A and B, so it means, I must define the CHARGE of C, is it correct? Thank you very much!
Best Regards

That’s correct if C is not a core-shell ion.

I'm so confused. I run the calculation of ceo2, it works. But when I calculate another material, it still has problem. The input is as the attachment. They use the same potential Williams, I just change the atoms and cell information. Could you please tell me? Nomally, where can we find our mistakes? Thank you very much!

Which problem? There is nothing new or special about that force field. Note, that the rho value for O-O is wrong in that table. It should rather be 0.2192 instead of 0.2912 (a typical typo).

Hello, the problem is, I find some  xxx_localLog_p1.out file, and it shows Value of r in Input =   0.149545 not in the spline range. Using =   0.416753. But it's still running, and I cant find further update information of structures.

You specify SCALED atomic coordinates in the &COORD section without the keyword SCALED and thus the default unit Angstrom is used.
