Linear Response Error

#1 Post by dscullion12 » Wed Feb 03, 2016 12:08 pm

Dear all,

When running a linear response calculation I receive the following error:

internal ERROR: LINEAR_RESPONSE_DIIS matrix is zero, try to call with LRESET

An initial error of

VERY BAD NEWS! internal error in subroutine INVGRP:
inverse of rotation matrix was not found (increase SYMPREC)

was received but this was fixed by setting ISYM = 0

I'm using a python script found here:

https://github.com/raman-sc/VASP

to calculate off-resonance Raman activity. Follow are my INCAR, POSCAR and KPOINTS files

%%%%%INCAR%%%%
general:
SYSTEM = hBN
ISTART = 0
ICHARG = 2
AMIX= 0.1
BMIX = 0.01
NPAR = 20
!GGA = PE
ISMEAR = 1
SIGMA = 0.01
EDIFF = 1.0E-8
EDIFFG = 1.0E-8
PREC = Accurate
LWAVE = .TRUE.
LCHARG = .TRUE.
LVTOT = .FALSE.
ENCUT = 500
NELM = 1000
NELMIN = 8
LEPSILON = .TRUE.
NWRITE = 3

ISYM = 0

GGA = MK
PARAM1 = 0.1234
PARAM2 = 1.0000
LUSE_VDW = .TRUE.
AGGAC = 0.0000

!LHFCALC = .TRUE.
!HFSCREEN = 0.2
!ALGO = All
!TIME = 0.4
!PRECFOCK = Fast
!NKRED = 2

dynamic:
!IBRION = 5
!ISIF = 2
!NSW = 0

Dear Declan,
the job started with your input data finished without any error
