- Similar setup as for Ni 100 surface relaxation.
- Again 2 of 5 layers relaxed.
- [math]\displaystyle{ (1-.444)\cdot 5.196 \cdot 3.53 \approx 10.2 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ \AA }[/math] of vacuum.
INCAR
general: ISTART = 0 ICHARG = 2 SYSTEM = clean (111) surface ENMAX = 270 ISMEAR = 2 ; SIGMA = 0.2 ALGO = Fast EDIFF = 1E-6 dynamic: NSW = 100 POTIM = 0.8 IBRION = 1
- Same INCAR file as for Ni 100 surface relaxation, but spin polarization neglected.
KPOINTS
k-points 0 Monkhorst-Pack 9 9 1 0 0 0
Calculation
- N.B.: The setup for the calculation of the "bulk" energy can be found in the Ni111clean_rel/bulk subdirectory of the tar file.
- The sample output for the forces should look like the following:
POSITION                                       TOTAL-FORCE (eV/Angst)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   total drift:                               -0.000084      0.000107     -0.017457
- Forces are already small at the beginning (small relaxations for compact surfaces).
- For surface energy non-spin-polarized bulk nickel as reference:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma^{\mathrm{unrel}} = \frac{1}{2} (-25.731 - 5 \cdot (-5.407)) = 0.65 }[/math] eV.
- (111) surface more stable than (100) surface.
