Next: The location of the Up: The .cell file and Previous: Constraints on the movement Atomic masses The mass of each species of ion in the calculation may be specified in the cell file. The format for the BLOCK is %BLOCK SPECIES_MASS units %ENDBLOCK SPECIES_MASS Each species is treated on a separate line. The first entry for species n is either the atomic symbol or the atomic number and the second entry is the mass, which has default units of atomic mass units. If the mass of any species is not specified then the default value of the mass will be assigned to that species. 2005-04-04
Next: External pressure that is Up: The .cell file and Previous: Atomic masses The location of the pseudopotential libraries In this BLOCK the user tells <strong>CASTEP</strong> where the pseudopotentials can be found %BLOCK SPECIES_POT %ENDBLOCK SPECIES_POT The species symbol/atomic number must be consistent <strong>with</strong> that in the IONIC_POSITIONS block and the SPECIES_MASS block. If the pseudopotential files are contained in a working directory then only the filename is specified. If the user is working on a shared machine such as a cluster in which the pseudopotentials are kept in a library for access by multiple users then the full directory path must be specified. 2005-04-04
