It would be great if you can provide me with some advices that can help me to solve this problem. In manual, it is mentioned that "Total energies from charged slab calculations are hence useless From VASP Wiki (Redirected from Monopole Dipole and Quadrupole corrections) Redirect page. Location of the missing subsurface oxygen atom and the difference in the total charge distribution of the neutral and positively charged models are shown in Fig. VASP can automatically correct this leading error, see Electrostatic corrections for further information. by kazem_zhour » Mon May 02, 2022 1:32 pm » in Using VASP. Thanks , I was assuming that comparisons for the "nonpolar" slab would be fine (actually, based on a lot of calculations with this system the energy differences, even though they are on the order microeV, are physically significant as they are reproducible, orders of magnitude above the penalty energy, and change sign when the bulk Jan 17, 2024 · Dear Sudarshan, Thanks very much for the reply. We present here a self-consistent potential correction scheme and provide successful tests of it for bulk and slab calculations. 1. Sincerely Kazem Jul 7, 2021 · Dear Sudarshan, Thanks very much for the reply. We implement two separate methods to deal with charged systems. - charged unit cells are unphysical (the name here is coulomb explosion)! SLABCC calculates a posteriori energy correction for charged slab models under 3D periodic boundary conditions (PBC) based on the method proposed in: This method estimates the error in the total energy of the charged models under 3D PBC due to the excess charge in the real system using Gaussian models. Aug 26, 2015 · VASP uses a background charge to compensate the extra charge in the unit cell. So the potential created by this charge at one point in your unit cell is a function of the size of the unit cell. In manual, it is mentioned that "Total energies from charged slab calculations are hence useless Jan 17, 2024 · Dear Sudarshan, Thanks very much for the reply. In manual, it is mentioned that "Total energies from charged slab calculations are hence useless Mar 7, 2011 · They calculate the real energy of {slab}+{extra charge} by subtracting two items: E_{background-slab}(interaction energy between the slab and the homogeneously distributed background compensating charge) and E_{background}(the energy of that background) from the calculated DFT energy, and they said the sum of these two items was equal to the Aug 26, 2015 · From your answer it seems valid then to use charged slabs to calculate adsorption energy and other phenomena related to the introduction of charge, what is the meaning then of the warning in the VASP's manual: "Total energies from charged slab calculations are hence useless, and can not be used to determine relative energies. " How then are people using these total energies. Bulk charged systems in orthorhombic cells can be treated by applying analytical monopole-monolpole corrections (see LMONO for further practical details). Apr 29, 2021 · We propose a modified passivation method that accounts for the effect of spontaneous polarization, describes the correct bulk limits and boosts convergence with respect to slab thickness. Thanks , I was assuming that comparisons for the "nonpolar" slab would be fine (actually, based on a lot of calculations with this system the energy differences, even though they are on the order microeV, are physically significant as they are reproducible, orders of magnitude above the penalty energy, and change sign when the bulk Aug 26, 2015 · The above results were obtained not using VASP, and I am wondering whether such calculations could be performed by VASP. . " Regards.

It would be great if you can provide me with some advices that can help me to solve this problem. These methods are specific to the dimensionality of the system that is being computed. Sincerely Kazem Sep 26, 2018 · I would like to ask about the calculation of charged slab using VASP. Jul 7, 2021 · In general, if you have a polar system it is better to compare energies using the dipole correction turned on, as it removes fictitious interactions between periodically repeated atoms in the direction in which periodicity is not needed (for example, in the direction of the surface normal). Jul 19, 2024 · This has been a part of VASP since version 6. Thanks , I was assuming that comparisons for the "nonpolar" slab would be fine (actually, based on a lot of calculations with this system the energy differences, even though they are on the order microeV, are physically significant as they are reproducible, orders of magnitude above the penalty energy, and change sign when the bulk Jul 19, 2024 · This has been a part of VASP since version 6. Treating charged systems in practice. Feb 19, 2021 · This becomes paramount in slab or wire calculations, where the jellium counter charge may induce spurious states in the vacuum. Charged systems: Quadrupole corrections are only correct for cubic supercells (this means that the calculated 1/L 3 corrections are wrong for charged supercells if the supercell is non-cubic). Sep 26, 2018 · I would like to ask about the calculation of charged slab using VASP. The VASP manual clearly states "Total energies from charged slab calculations are hence useless, and can not be used to determine relative energies. 5 Replies Jan 17, 2024 · Dear Sudarshan, Thanks very much for the reply. In manual, it is mentioned that "Total energies from charged slab calculations are hence useless Jul 1, 2019 · A slab of 4 double layers, with a (3 × 1) surface unit (144 atoms) and various vacuum sizes (10–30 Å) is used to model the surface. It is important to emphasize that the total energy cannot be corrected for charged slabs, since a charged slab results in an electrostatic potential that grows with the distance from the slab.
