ERROR: Number of total combinations is too high to work with. #61

Closed shivamkansara closed 1 year ago

shivamkansara commented 1 year ago

Dear all experts, I have encountered an error with "ERROR: Number of total combinations is too high to work with." so I am here to ask that how to solve the said error. I know that I am trying with large super-cell because my atomic contribution is 0.034 so to keep existence of atom, I have to go with selection of 5x5x3. If you need information of system or file, please let me know.

Thank you

If you have so small atomic substitution, you should not have such error. Please refer to tutorial, were I discussed some approaches in some specific cases. https://orex.github.io/supercell/docs/tutorial/

In general, such case is can be solved only by reducing the supercell size, of change occupation numbers.

Thank you for getting back to me.

So I would like to confirm the possibility of Li(0.34)Ca(0.034)Mn2O5.

I tried but there is a NaN error. In fact, I don't know if is it possible through the Supercell program or not. or I am making a mistake.

Thanks
