Dear VASP users,
I am trying to do a calculation where NBANDS=31 and NKPTS=41. Number of electrons=45. I want the first 22 bands doubly occupied, then the 23rd band half-filled, and the rest bands are empty. How can I describe in FERWE and FERDO lines in INCAR the above situation?
Thanks for any help,
bandy
P.S.
If I use
FERWE= 943*1.0 328*0.0
FERDO=902*1.0 369*0.0
then I get the following messages:
in vasp.out:
vasp.4.6.26 9Nov04 complex

FERDO and FERWE problem
no, the loop to read FERWE and FERDO is weight( bands(kpoint), kpoints),
(kpoints is the outer loop), so the occupancies have to be given kpoint-wise
However, please check your electronic structure to see whether it is reasonable at all to set FERWE and FERDO. If you just want to do a spin-polarized run, it is sufficient to set ISPIN=2; NUPDOWN=1
