一 光学性质计算

在完成结构优化和静态计算后，拷贝 scf 文件夹为 optic

cp -rf scf optic

编辑 optic 文件夹下 INCAR

INCAR

SYSTEM=x
ISTART=0
ENCUT=350
EDIFF=1E-5
IBRION=-1 # change
POTIM=0.25
NSW=0 # change
EDIFFG=-1E-2
ISMEAR=0
SIGMA=0.05
PREC=ACCURATE
ISIF=2
NPAR=1 # change 4 to 1
#LWAVE=FALSE
#LCHARG=FALSE
LREAL=Auto
#IALGO=48
ISYM=0
NBANDS=x # add
LOPTICS=.TRUE. # add

• 注：NBANDS=x x 为 OUTCAT 中 NBANDS*2, 可使用 grep 命令查询

grep NBANDS OUTCAR

提交作业，计算完成后，可查看 OUTCAR 文件，有计算得出介电常数 (Dielectric constant) 的实部和虚部。

  frequency dependent IMAGINARY DIELECTRIC FUNCTION (independent particle, no local field effects)
     E(ev)      X         Y         Z        XY        YZ        ZX

  frequency dependent      REAL DIELECTRIC FUNCTION (independent particle, no local field effects)
     E(ev)      X         Y         Z        XY        YZ        ZX

使用 vaspkit 程序对计算结果进行处理。

二 vaspkit 的安装与使用

安装 Installation

使用 SshClient 将已下载的 vaspkit 导入 linux 服务器，安装步骤：

tar -zvxf vaspkit.*.tar.gz
cd vaspkit.*/src
modify the Makefile file based on your machine environment;
make

• Note that the formats of POSCAR, CONCAR and CHGCAR files in VASP.5.x are slightly different from those in VASP.4.x. Please set the vasp5=.false. in the src/module.f90 file if you use VASP.4.x

设置环境变量

vi ~/.bashrc
alias opt="~/software/vaspkit.0.51/examples/optic/optics.sh"
alias kit="~/software/vaspkit.0.51/src/vaspkit"
source ~/.bashrc

• You need to preparethe REAL.IN and IMAG.IN files which include the real and imaginary parts of frequencydependent complex dielectric function. There is a bash script optics.sh as a reference in the vaspkit.*/examples/optic/ could help you to prepare the real.in and imag.in files.
