Error in MBJ calculation

#1 Post by scanmat_centre » Wed Apr 27, 2022 2:34 pm

Dear Vasp users,
I have running the MBJ calculation for LiSrP compound to find a band gap. But I am facing error code as follows
"Error EDDDAV: Call to ZHEGV failed. Returncode = 22 2 24". When I looked in internet I notice it was a problem of LAPACK installation. But I have installed the latest version of LAPACK and compiled vasp. But stil I am facing a same eror.

I am attaching my Inputs below.

EDIFF=1E-6

ISMEAR=0
ALGO = N
IMIX = 1

Hi,

It seems that you did not show the entire KPOINTS file, because there are lines "......" after it. Can you show the complete KPOINTS file? Please, also provide the following:
-OUTCAR file
-The precise name of the LDA POTCAR files that you used
-Details of the calculation: compiler (gfortran, Intel, ...), number of cores, etc.

Re: Error in MBJ calculation

I have attached the K-POINTS and OUTCAR file with this reply. I have used ifort to compile the VASP. And I am using 4 core for the parallel calculations.

Re: Error in MBJ calculation

#5 Post by fabien_tran1 » Mon May 02, 2022 2:43 pm

Hi,

I have run your MBJ calculation with a more recent version of VASP on Intel (I don't have vasp.5.4.4 compiled on hand) and did not encounter problem (the OUTCAR is attached). Another difference is that my calculation converged quite fast in 21 iterations, while in your case the calculation was not finished after 157 iterations (when the error occurred), which is a bit strange. At the moment, I can not really say if your problem is specific to vasp.5.4.4 or due to something else like LAPACK. For the moment possible suggestions are:

-If you can, to upgrade to a more recent version of VASP.
-To use slightly different settings (e.g., ENCUT, KPOINTS) and hope that the error won't occur.

Meanwhile I will try to compile vasp.5.4.4 and use it for your calculation.

Thank you for your reply @fabien_tran1. I have tried the MBJ calculation with a new version of vasp (6.2.1). Its ran without any hurdle. Thank you very much for your time.
