RDF problem from MD output

#1 Post by s9811016 » Thu Sep 13, 2012 10:03 am

Dear Sir
I am facing a problem to draw a RDF from MD output of PdSi melting, the line graph down to zero means no probability of atom at a particular point . According to atomic distribution, it should be start from 0 but never meet to 0. I have checked my cutoff still the same. If any body knows pls let me know asap.
Here is my INCAR file.

PdSi:
Start parameter for this run:
ISTART = 0
ICHARG = 2
PREC = medium ! standard precision

Electronic Relaxation:
ENCUT = 300 ! cutoff should be set manually
EDIEF = 1E-05 ! energy stopping-criterion for ELM
LWAVE = .FALSE.
LCHARGE = .TRUE.
IALGO = 48 ! RMM-DIIS algorithm for electrons
LREAL = Auto ! projection done in real space
BMIX = 2 ! mixing parameter
MAXMIX = 50 ! keep dielectric function between ionic movements
NELMIN = 4 ! do a minimum of four electronic steps

Ionic Relaxation:
IBRION = 0 ! molecular dynamics
NSW = 3400 ! no of electronic steps
NBLOCK = 1 ; KBLOCK = 50
ISYM = 0 ! switch of symmetry
POTIM = 10 ! timestep fs
SMASS = 2 ! NVT ensemble (Nose mass)
TEBEG = 300 ; TEEND = 2000 ! temperature

Parallelization flags
NPAR = 1
LPLANE = .TRUE.

DOS Related values:
ISMEAR = 0 ; SIGMA = 0.1 ! O for GS,-5 for Tetra +Blochl& broadening in eV

PC-function:
NPACO = 200 ; APACO = 10.0 ! distance for P.C.

Thanks
Faruq
