Problems running VASP: crashes, internal errors, "wrong" results.

pseudopotential strength

#1 Post by jaburt » Tue Jul 18, 2006 8:09 pm

I have been trying to geometry optimize the MgSiO3 perovskite and in the output file after ever iteration I recieve:

pseudopotential strength for first ion, spin component: 1
-66.020 -0.030 0.030 ******* -0.302 0.308 0.014

0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000

There doesn't seem to be any errors or warnings, but I am confused why some of the pseudopotential strengths are *****. Does any one know if this will effect the calculation?

Please check if your input geometry is reasonable.
