Adding a new dimension to DFT calculations of solids ...

WIEN2k-Update information:

Current version: WIEN2k_10.1

Version 10.1 is a very important update. There are several small bug fixes and improvements, particular important changes are:

run_lapw (actually x lapw2) will insert EF into case.in1, which will change all default energy parameters from 0.3 to EF-0.2.
The iterative diagonalization in SRC_lapw1 has been further improved.
The mpi-parallel versions have been made more secure (thanks to L.Marks).
Support for modified Becke-Johnson potential (for band gaps).
Support for different "core-orbital selection" (lstart) and core-density superposition.
DOS with single k-point (for large cells)

To update from previous versions you can either download and install the complete package (highly recommended when upgrading from a rather old version) or download and update only individual packages (the ones which have been changed according to the list given below):

SRC_w2web: just expand: gunzip SRC_w2web.tar.gz;tar -xvf SRC_w2web.tar
SRC: expand and cp the respective shell-script to $WIENROOT: gunzip SRC.tar.gz;tar -xvf SRC.tar;cp SRC/CORRECTED_SCRIPT_lapw .
For all other packages (Fortran programs) use the "update" option of siteconfig_lapw.

The following updates have been made:

VERSION_10.1: 7.6.2010
SRC: various fixes and improvements for the following scripts: clean_lapw, clmextrapol_lapw (does not destroy clmsum file when case.rsp is missing), extract_aim, init_lapw (support for core-density superposition with .lcore file; WARNING for unphysical R0); initso_lapw (rewritten by Morteza Jamal, together with make_inso_lapw it lets you define various options when generating the required input file case.inso); lapw1_para; lapw2_para ( -qtl option works now also with parallel vectors on $SCRATCH); min_lapw (tests for case.rsp before it does a charge extrapolation, new options to support iter.diag.); opticpara_lapw (correct handling of .processes file); restore_lapw;
all run*_lapw scripts:
- by default EF is inserted into case.in1 and lapw1 will replace all default energy parameters ("0.3") by EF-0.2. When you want to keep the old behaviour, you must specify -in1old (and keep EF at 0.5Ry).
- iterative diagonalization: -it will try to select iter.diag from the first iteration on; -it1 will recreate case.storeHinv files at first iteration; -it2 will do a full diagonalization, then create case.storeHinv in the 2nd cycle, and thus reach iter.diag speed only in the 3rd iteration.
- -noHinv lets you switch to the iterative diagonalization without storing Hinv (maybe better in cases of slow I/O or difficult cases)
- -vec2pratt use vec2pratt instead of vec2old for iterative diag. (L.D.Marks)
- "touch .noHinv" removes case.storeHinv files and restarts iter.diag
- Printing header into dayfile and case.scf (:LABEL)
- case.in0_grr will initiate a second call to lapw0 using this input file. Necessary for modified Becke-Johnson potential or for decomposing E-xc into E-x and E-c.
- the presence of .lcore file will remove case.clmcor and initiate a superposition (x dstart -lcore) of the core densitites creating case.clmsc. .lcore will be created automatically by init_lapw when you neglect core-leakage warnings. Note, since dstart is not parallelized, it can be slow for large cases.
save_lapw; siteconfig_lapw (support for ifort 11.1, hints about ifort-linking and environment); testconv_lapw (-cc will not take the average :DIS, but the maximum for a particular atom, which is a much tighter criterium); vec2old_lapw (-local switch copies from $SCRATCH to the local directory); vec2pratt_lapw (by L.Marks, makes a Pratt-mixing of old and new vectors instead of a copy for iterative diagonalization); write_in1_lapw; x_lapw ("x paihess -copy" copies the files for usage in min_lapw, "x dstart -lcore" superposes core-densities, "x lapw0 -grr" calls lapw0 with case.in0_grr, "x lapw1 -it -noHinv" selects iter.diag. without Hinv, various other updates, "x lapw2" will insert EF into case.in1)
SRC_w2web: "Tools": supports generation of .lcore, case.inm_vresp, case.in0_grr; "download" option fixed; support for new lstart option;
SRC_2Doptimize: produces proper backslash character in scripts.
SRC_cif2struct: fix for inaccurate 1/3,... in hexagonal SG.
SRC_dipan: fix for more than 99 atoms
SRC_dstart : support for superposition of core densities
SRC_joint: small fix in band analysis
SRC_lapw0 : support for "modified Becke-Johnson" potential to obtain proper band gaps; possible analysis of E-tot with contributions of E-kin and E-xc; total energy corrected for charged cells (should now be formally correct, but does not include ad hoc corrections due to periodic images); several input enhancements like a "print switch" to reduce output0 file or a PARAMETER "restrict_output" (in param.inc) to limit the number of case.output0XXX files for lapw0_mpi; rotdef.f "symmetrized"; W2kinit.F and W2kutils.c added (thanks to L.D.Marks; sets stacksize to unlimited); changes in mpi-version : "crash security added", "EFG-structure" and calls to MPI_ADDRESS or MPI_GET_ADDRESS removed (should work now with MPI 1 and 2);
SRC_lapw1 : tries to read EF from case.in1 and modifies all default energy parameters (0.3) to EF-0.2; bug-fix for L=7 "cubic harmonics"; iterative diagonalizations : switch between storing or not Hinv added (activated by the presence of files at unit 200 and 201, see x_lapw); tighter test for approximate linear dependency when selecting a K-vector for the local orbitals (removes sporadic " choleski stops "); rotdef.f "symmetrized"; W2kinit.F and W2kutils.c added (thanks to L.D.Marks; sets stacksize to unlimited); changes in mpi-version: "crash security added"; PARAMETER "restrict_output" (in param.inc) to limit the number of case.output1_y_proc_XXX files for lapw1_mpi
SRC_lapw2: bug fix in fourir.F: for some lattices (mainly centered lattices) it could have happened that not all non-zero Fourier-coefficients of the density have been calculated, but the latests (smallest) are missing;rotdef.f "symmetrized"; W2kinit.F and W2kutils.c added (thanks to L.D.Marks; sets stacksize to unlimited); changes in mpi-version: "crash security added",PARAMETER "restrict_output" (in modules.F) to limit the number of case.output2_y_proc_XXX files for lapw2_mpi
SRC_lapwdm: speed-up for parallel run and only 1-kpoint per parallel job;
SRC_lapwso: rotdef.f "symmetrized";
SRC_lcore : bug fix for potential shift (outside RMT), which was the reason that sometimes a potential shift still did not help to put high-energy states as core; writes core density beyond RMT suitable for superposition with dstart; iprint switch added to reduce size of case.outputc
SRC_lstart: WARNING if R0 is too big; default "NBAND" in case.in1 for iter.diag. increased; alternate selection of "core" states by "charge confinement" instead of energy (in particular for 4f semi-core states of 5d elements), case.outputst contains "readable" information on core state selection and suggestions to touch .lcore for core density superposition (see run_lapw description); first line in case.in1_st has been changed.
SRC_mini: proper format option of case.scf_mini;
SRC_mixer: fixes sevire bug for case.dmatdn (case.dmatdn was never mixed but taken completely from the new output. There is no problem when your calculations converged); support for E-kin output; small fixes for spin-pol. case and accuracy
SRC_nn: prints name of newly generated case.struct_nn file
SRC_optic: speed improvements, optional input nbvalmax (number of full occupied bands) to save time;

SRC_trig/xyz2struct.f: several improvements (rounding errors for H lattice)
SRC_vecpratt: new package contributed by L.D.Marks. Can alternatively be used in iterative diagonalization. It will Pratt-mix two old vectors instead of just copying. (activated with the -vec2pratt switch in run_lapw)
SRC_lib/lapack_lapw: new subroutines included
The "unsupported software" section became new packages, in particular for phonons, wien2wannier, critic, and elastic constants.

VERSION_09.2: 29.9.2009

setrmt_lapw (slightly modified RMT settings), write_in1_lapw has a new option [-ef]. When specified, it will only update the default energy-parameters 0.3 to EF-0.2. All scf scripts (run_lapw, ....) take a new switch -in1ef, which activates the new option.
I recommend using -in1ef instead of -in1new N.

SRC_spacegroup: runs now for monoclinc spacegroups AND angles=90 degree. However, please note that this is potentially dangerous, since for certain monoclinic spacegroups the "monoclinic axis" is then not defined uniquely and we make a certain assumption (usually angle gamma.ne.90) for this.

VERSION_07.1a: 31.01.2007
SRC: init_lapw (support for "batch mode" for "trivial" cases). migrate_lapw, lapw1para_lapw + lapw2para_lapw + fixerror_lapw + lapwsopara_lapw + lapwdmpara_lapw ("NFS-bug fixes"), lapw0para_lapw, save_lapw + restore_lapw (case.scf2 files for -in1new switch), write_in1_lapw, run_lapw, runsp_lapw + runeece_lapw (for hybrid methods, see UG), clean_lapw, dosplot_lapw, opticpara_lapw, runafm_lapw (+ struct_afm_check to enforce AFM structure), x_lapw, siteconfig_lapw (support for g95), userconfig_lapw

SRC_elast: anaelast.f: fix for an error if "MULT.ne.1"
SRC_irrep: f90 cleanup
SRC_joint: several small fixes
SRC_kgen: bigger default dimensions, new format for case.klisti (the old format is still working, but you MUST update lapw1 to be compatible with both, the old and new format of case.klist).
SRC_lapw0: several major changes: speed-up of rean0.F in parallel version; WC-potential is now option 11; fix for various bugs for charged cells and external electric field (Thanks to L.Marks), support for "exact exchange+hybrid functionals for correlated electrons". This means that on-site Hartree-Fock inside the spheres can be added (without much extra cost). The results will be "similar" to LDA+U and this method is applicable ONLY to localized electrons (It will NOT improve the band gap in semiconductors like Si).
SRC_lapw1: atpar.f: trap when Alm=1; inilpw.f (support for alternate klist file format); inilpw.f: support for old and new klist-format
SRC_lapw2: fermi.f (insulator for magnetic case fixed); :SUM written with more digits (may change :ENE; which was affected by rounding errors in parallel calculations.)

SRC_eosfit6: new program (see UG), performs least squares fit for multi-dimensional lattice parameter optimization (parabolic approximation)
SRC_joint: small bugfix
SRC_lapw0: FFT-grid parameter + scaling read from case.in0 (optionally). It turns out, that for certain cases (lattic parameter optimization with GGA) a constant AND dense FFT mesh is very important for numerical stability. We have thus reduced the default GMAX, but introduced a fixed and finer FFT mesh (important only for E-XC in the interstital; increases slightly the xcpot3 time); support for the new Wu-Cohen GGA, which gives better results for equillibrium lattice parameters than PBE in many cases (except group-2 elements, 3d metals, molecules)

When you have a version prior to WIEN2k_03, you must install the complete package. Once you have WIEN2k_03, you can also update individual packages

Please note, from WIEN2k_03 on we support more than 99 inequivalent atoms/cell. For this purpose it must use a new format for case.struct, case.clm*, case.vsp*, case.vns* and case.in2* files. In addition, the output-format of case.scf had also to be adapted (3 digits for atom labels like :MMI001)

If you are upgrading from an earlier version (which is highly recommended, since we can support only the new version), you can convert all the files mentioned above using a procedure "100atomfix_lapw". (Conversion is done for the whole subdirectory tree and may take several hours when you have many large cases).
