I adsorb, an ionic species e.g. O− on an insulating surface. To select a specific charge state, I have increased the
number of electrons by one compared to the neutral system. Now, I have no clue how to evalute the total energy
properly (i.e. are there convergence corrections).
Actually, you MUST NOT set the number of electrons manually for a slab calculation. I.e., when you calculate
the slab-O− system you are not allowed to select a specific charge state for the oxygen ion, by increasing the
number of electrons manually. Specific charge state calculations make sense only in 3D systems and for cluster
calculations. |
