Formation Energy

#1 Post by sunny » Tue Feb 05, 2013 3:39 pm

To calculate formation energy of charged state, I need to know valence band maximum. Can I find valence band maximum without doing band structure calculations using VASP?

Thank you in advance.

Check in OUTCAR the band energies of the last occupied band over the whole set of k-points.
