At the very end of the file one should find the line confirming that the job has finished without crashing, e.g. 19 \begin{tcolorbox}[sharp corners,boxrule=0.5pt] 20 {\small 21 \begin{verbatim} 22 =------------------------------------------------------------------------------= 23 JOB DONE. 24 =------------------------------------------------------------------------------= 25 \end{verbatim} 26 } 27 \end{tcolorbox} 28 Depending on the output verbosity one may or may not find info about WALL times for the calls to the different routines. Just above this block, if present, one may find the info about the convergence of the SCF loop, such as the scf accuracy and the number of iterations to required to achieve it: 29 \begin{tcolorbox}[sharp corners,boxrule=0.5pt] 30 \small{ 31 \begin{verbatim} 32 ! total energy = -22.58128615 Ry 33 Harris-Foulkes estimate = -22.58128615 Ry 34 estimated scf accuracy < 1.0E-14 Ry 35 36 37 The total energy is the sum of the following terms: 38 39 one-electron contribution = 11.69117931 Ry 40 hartree contribution = 1.57036314 Ry 41 xc contribution = -7.58421586 Ry 42 ewald contribution = -28.25861274 Ry 43 44 convergence has been achieved in 9 iterations 45 \end{verbatim} 46 } 47 \end{tcolorbox} 48 \item {\it Run pwscf to obtain the Bloch states on a uniform k-point grid.} 49 50 Similarly for the non-scf calculation one can check that the calculation has been carried out without crashing by looking at the last three line of the {\tt nscf.out} file. A useful information to check is the value of the highest eigenvalue (for insulators and semiconductors) or the value of the Fermi level (for metals). In the diamond we case, we find: 51 \begin{tcolorbox}[sharp corners,boxrule=0.5pt] 52 {\small 53 \begin{verbatim} 54 highest occupied level (ev): 19.3978 55 \end{verbatim} 56 } 57 \end{tcolorbox} 58 \item[5] {\it Run \Wannier{} to compute the MLWFs.} 59 60 The result of the wannierisation, after 20 iterations, may be found at the end of {\tt diamond.wout} file: 61 \begin{tcolorbox}[sharp corners,boxrule=0.5pt] 62 \small{ 63 \begin{verbatim} 64 Final State 65 WF centre and spread 1 ( -0.000000, 0.000000, -0.000000 ) 0.58022623 66 WF centre and spread 2 ( -0.806995, 0.806995, 0.000000 ) 0.58022623 67 WF centre and spread 3 ( -0.000000, 0.806995, 0.806995 ) 0.58022623 68 WF centre and spread 4 ( -0.806995, -0.000000, 0.806995 ) 0.58022623 69 Sum of centres and spreads ( -1.613990, 1.613990, 1.613990 ) 2.32090491 70 71 Spreads (Ang^2) Omega I = 1.954619859 72 ================ Omega D = 0.000000000 73 Omega OD = 0.366285054 74 Final Spread (Ang^2) Omega Total = 2.320904912 75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 76 \end{verbatim} 77 } 78 \end{tcolorbox} 79 \item[Extra :] {\it Plot the 4 \MLWFs.} 80 81 The resulting 4 $\sigma$-bonding \MLWFs{} are shown in \Fig{fig5.1} 82\end{enumerate} 83 \begin{figure}[h!] 84 \centering 85 \subfloat[\MLWF{} 1]{\includegraphics[width=0.2\columnwidth,trim={220pt 120pt 220pt 120pt},clip]{figure/example05/diamond_1.png}} 86 \centering 87 \subfloat[\MLWF{} 2]{\includegraphics[width=0.2\columnwidth,trim={220pt 120pt 220pt 120pt},clip]{figure/example05/diamond_2.png}} 88 \centering 89 \subfloat[\MLWF{} 3]{\includegraphics[width=0.2\columnwidth,trim={220pt 120pt 220pt 120pt},clip]{figure/example05/diamond_3.png}} 90 \centering 91 \subfloat[\MLWF{} 4]{\includegraphics[width=0.2\columnwidth,trim={220pt 120pt 220pt 120pt},clip]{figure/example05/diamond_4.png}} 92 \caption{4 \MLWFs{} in diamond describing the valence bands plotted using \vesta.}\label{fig5.1} 93 \end{figure} 94
