I took optimized Graphene structure from VASP. In order to use JDFT for optimization, I just followed the tutorial given in http://jdftx.org/Pt100.html my .lattice file contains parameters converted in Bohr from VASP. and I also have .ionpos generated from the xyzToionpos script. Now having said that, when I proceed with dryrun as instructed in the above link. I get the above error.

Default ionic coordinates are fractional, so you need to specify "coords-type cartesian" in your input file.

yashpalsingh007 commented 6 years ago

thanks for the reply.

I have one more issue: My optimization word very fine and it was quick for my system but now when I include van-der-waals tag in order to include the D2 corrections in the previously optimized structure. It is taking a long time its been more than 48 hrs now. Is there any way to check, whether the calculation (re-optimization using D2) is running fine or not.

Thanks again! Yash

Hi,

Regarding solvation correction through CANDLE

as i mentioned earlier including van-der-waals took a long time to optimize and the optimization energy which I got is: -414.6529216614947018

In order to verify I considered same structure previously optimized with VASP with D2 and performed a single point calculation using following common.in scrip


include fen4c-ooh.lattice include fen4c-ooh.ionpos coords-type cartesian

spintype z-spin ion-species GBRV/$ID_pbe.uspp elec-ex-corr gga-PBE elec-cutoff 20 100

coulomb-interaction Slab 001 coulomb-truncation-ion-margin 3

coulomb-truncation-embed 0 0 0

van-der-waals

kpoint-folding 4 4 1 elec-smearing Fermi 0.01 electronic-SCF ionic-minimize nIterations 0 electronic-minimize nIterations 0

The optimization energy I got is: -414.6496407339589041

which is similar to above. So far so good.. Now I wanna include solvent correction here for which I am using following LinearPCM.in


include common.in dump-name LinearPCM.$VAR dump End State BoundCharge

fluid LinearPCM #Simple continuum fluid with linear response pcm-variant CANDLE #default, if not specified fluid-solvent H2O #Solvent is water

and in common.in I have


include fen4c-ooh.lattice include fen4c-ooh.ionpos coords-type cartesian

spintype z-spin ion-species GBRV/$ID_pbe.uspp elec-ex-corr gga-PBE elec-cutoff 20 100

coulomb-interaction Slab 001 coulomb-truncation-ion-margin 3 coulomb-truncation-embed 0 0 0

van-der-waals

kpoint-folding 4 4 1 elec-smearing Fermi 0.01

Now the issue is: Job gets killed with the following message Atom 28 lies within the margin of 5 bohrs from the truncation boundary. Expand unit cell, or if absolutely sure, reduce coulomb-truncation-ion-margin. Failed.

I tried to reduce coulomb-truncation-ion-margin further to 1 but the issue still persists. Since I used similar common.in for optimization, I could not understand the reason of failure.

Is there any mistake in the input?

Thanks sincere regards yash

You probably need to fix the center specification in your coulomb-truncation-embed command. It looks like your atoms are centered at a finite z within the cell, rather than at the origin.

The identity of the ions does not matter for continuum solvation models: use NaF, the typical non-adsorbing electrolyte in experiment as a reminder of this.

Your error is, i found now, because the hydronium ions have not actually been setup within the code. I have updated the code to raise a not implemented error at the very beginning instead of the cryptic non-neutral error you saw now.

Best, Shankar

yashpalsingh007 commented 6 years ago

Thank for the quick response! In my system of interest, experimentally people use 0.1M solution HClO4 or H2SO4 as an electrolyte. That is the reason why I wanted to use those options to create the experimental condition (acidic medium). Does considering NaF computationally mimic my acidic condition requirement? If not, then please suggest some other electrolyte.

Thank for the help!

Hi Yash,

Continuum solvation models cannot automatically account for acidity and other specific interactions, only the overall electrostatic environment. If you expect species to protonate because of the acidic environment, you will need to explicitly add a proton and calculate the energetics of doing so. The continuum solvation models will only help you do this easily and efficiently by correctly treating the possibly-charged protonated species etc.

Hence my comment: use any electrolyte in the continuum solvation model: they will give identical results.

Best, Shankar

Hi,

Another query in the fixed potential calculation:

The formula for the target mu is given as follows: mu = -(Vref + V)/27.2114,

Now for the e.g. case give on website, we need to run the following script

!/bin/bash

for iMu in {-10..10}; do export mu="$(echo $iMu | awk '{printf("%.4f", -0.2015+0.1*$1/27.2114)}')" mpirun -n 4 jdftx -i Charged.in | tee Charged$mu.out mv common.nbound Charged$mu.nbound done

-0.2015 is the mu value for the neutral case (0 applied voltage) which we get from Neutral.out

Since the above script varies from -1 to 1 V, my query is does this numerator 0.1*$1 = -(Vref+V) where Vref=-4.66 eV or -4.44 eV ( depending on the choice). If true then we can calculate the value of applied potential V based on the above formula.

Am I looking at it correctly?

thanks Yash

Above, 0.1*$1 is the potential in volts relative to the neutral potential.

If you want the applied potential relative to SHE, then you convert the overall mu using mu = -(Vref + V)/27.2114. In that case, do not subtract out the neutral mu value (as written in your formula).

yashpalsingh007 commented 6 years ago

I am testing my system for stability against dissolution in a range of 0 to 1.2 V for ORR. In order to do calculations in the above range of fixed potentials, I divided step size a (1.2-0.0)/24 =0.05

0 V = 0.050 and 1.2 V = 0.0524

I have modified the script as follows without considering any reference voltage:

!/bin/bash

for iMu in {0..24}; do export mu="$(echo $iMu | awk '{printf("%.4f", 0.05*$1/27.2114)}')" mpirun -n 4 jdftx -i Charged.in | tee Charged$mu.out mv common.nbound Charged$mu.nbound done

I hope am not wrong here?

That is incorrect: the mu specified to the code is absolute, and your formula must include Vref if you want V to be potential relative to SHE.

Set the move scale for both atoms to 1

yashpalsingh007 commented 6 years ago

the error is resolved b setting move scale 1 for both the atoms in h2.ionpos file but now the error is

Atoms are too close, have overlapping pseudopotential cores.

Failed.

I encountered similar problem earlier also which was resolved by setting

coords-type cartesian

In this case, I don't know what the issue. The distance between H atoms is equal to the bond length of the H2 molecule which is fine. Is the issue related with the pseudopotential of H atom owing to its single electron nature?

Thanks for the patience!

Oh right, H2 is a corner case in the most recent GBRV due to wider nonlocal projectors that overlap at the equilibrium geometry. Disable the check using "core-overlap-check None" to circumvent this issue.

I think I got the issue, we have to be careful in using xyzToionpos because the bounding box values x,y,z only give the box size based on the coordinates of atoms. We should only use two atoms instead of 9 atoms as given in .cif file.

Yes, that's right. XyzToIonpos* scripts are for molecules, not solids. There's no automatic way to figure out lattice vectors from the atom coordinates in an xyz file alone.

yashpalsingh007 commented 6 years ago

Hi, I have a issue which I would like to bring to your notice.

I calculated free energy change for a reaction Fe-N4C +2(H+e) —> 2H-N4C + Fe

For systems Fe-N4C and 2H-N4C (carbon based nanomaterials) I calculated grand free energies at 0 V to 1.2 V as we discussed earlier. For H+e =0.5* H2 and for Fe = Bulk Fe/no. of atoms.

I used VASP for that considering it at 0V and got a change of -0.9 eV Using JDFTx (only at 0V) the value of -2.4 eV.

Now the reason behind this dfference which I am expecting is: For Fe bulk and H2 calculations I never performed fixed potential calculations and most probably the algorithm which is used for the minimization (grand free energy) during fixed potential calculation is different that the normal minimization.

I would like to know your thoughts here.

Thanks Yash

Did you add a mu*N term for Fe and H energies to make them Grand canonical? You don't need to do a fixed potential calculation, but you do have to put all terms on same mu. For the fixed electron calcs, you set N to the fixed value, but put the mu same as the fixed potential calculations.

Hi Yash,

You can't do fixed potential calculations in bulk: there is no room for the liquid / counter charge. You need a surface for these.

Best, Shankar

yashpalsingh007 commented 5 years ago

Oh, I didn't realize that. My aim is to calculate the reaction free energy of a reaction that requires the chemical potential of Fe as an input (wanted to compare it with the vasp result). Since I want to calculate the chemical potential for Fe which I generally calculate bulk energy per atom. The reason behind using grand canonical energy is to keep it on equal footing with all the other fixed potential calculations.

Now in the current scenario what I understand is best for me is to calculate the energy of a single Fe atom in a box.

What do you think? Thanks for the quick response.

Sincere regards Yash

For the bulk reference, calculate G = F - mu N at the mu of the reaction you are calculating , but using helmholtz free energy F and electron number N of neutral bulk calculation (no solvent or charge).

See the grand canonical DFT JCP final section for an example of this for the UPD process.

shankar1729 commented 7 months ago

Hi Tianfu,

From a quick look, your calculation seems adequately converged. The issue here is that there is an inner fluid minimization with a specified convergence threshold, and an outer electronic minimization. In order for the outer optimization algorithm to detect smooth convergence, the inner algorithm needs to be converged at each step to a greater level of accuracy. In your example, you have reached a position where the fluid minimization is converging in 0 steps each time, meaning that the difference in fluid state between electronic configurations is negligible to the specified accuracy of your fluid minimize.

In short, this is fine. If you want to get rid of this situation, you can increase the level of convergence of the fluid by adding command fluid-minimize knormThreshold 3e-12 (the default amounted to 1e-11).

Best, Shankar
