zero bader charge!

#1 Post by fegg7502 » Wed Apr 09, 2008 6:35 am

Dear all!
I have met the zero charge problem when I calculate the Al2O3 with VASP 4.6.12package, and PAW-GGA POTCAR,
the INCAR is
SYSTEM = Al2O3

ENCUT = 400

ISTART = 0 ; ICHARG = 2

ISMEAR = 0

LREAL = Auto

dynamic:

INIWAV = 1

#ALGO = Fast

IBRION = 1

#NSW = 1

#POTIM = 0.1

#ISIF = 2

GGA = 91

VOSKOWN = 1

PREC = Accurate

while the ACF.dat as follows
# X Y Z CHARGE MIN DIST
----------------------------------------------------------------
1 4.9666 3.4157 7.2020 7.9863 1.1660

----------------------------------------------------------------
NUMBER OF ELECTRONS: 192.00000

another problem is that one of my colleague calculates the Fe,C, H system with PAW-PBE POTCAR use the incar
SYSTEM = FeCH
ISTART = 0

ICHARG = 2

ENCUT = 400

ISPIN = 2

ISMEAR = 2

SIGMA = 0.2

LREAL = Auto

dynamic:

IBRION = 1

NSW = 400

POTIM = 0.5

get the right result. I am not sure wether is the problem with VASP input or bader.
iam not sure if i could do the charge with VASP 4.6.12 ?
i also want to know that why the Fe, H, C system goes well wellwith Bader?
could any one help me ?

thanks in advance!
