Dear All
I am using VASP mainly for vibrational calculations for a Ni-CH4 adsorption system.
From the OUTCAR file i can obtain the most relavent data of the Vibrational calculation - The Hessian Matrix .[ie. " SECOND DERIVATIVES (NOT SYMMETRIZED)" and " SECOND DERIVATIVES (SYMMETRYZED)"].
Doubt: in OUTCAR file i can see only, 6 digit decimals for this matrix. How can I display an arbitrary number of significant figures in OUTCAR for this item - WITHOUT ANY RECOMPILING OF THE CODE ?
Perhaps this could also be relevant, How can i extend this requirement to other output result, say: POSITION?
Hope somebody can give an answer ...
Thank you very much

How to display more significant figures in OUTCAR
to write the output in a different format, you have to change the corresponding format (F12.6) in the write statement (finite_diff.F, subroutine print_second_deriv) and recompile vasp, there is no other way to do this.
