1、对称性引起,原始的Monkhorst-Pack网格这样会导致不可约的k点数目相同。
2、不可约k点数目相同的情况计算量无差别,因为求解本征方程的时候需要解的k网格是一样多的。
3、楼上的说法正确,原则上k越大计算越可靠。但一般不会这么做的原因是我们需要在计算效率和计算精度上面找平衡,所以会通过测试确定,此时相同计算量偶数的k点性价比高。但注意,MS官网没提到的是,不少情况用的是过Gamma点的网格,在vasp的手册里面:
For reasons of safety it might be a good choice to use only meshes with their origin at Γ (switch ’G’ or ’g’ on third line or odd divisions) if the tetrahedron method is used. We strongly recommend to use only Gamma centered grids for hexagonal lattices. Many tests we have performed indicate that the energy converges significantly faster with Gamma centered grids than with standard Monkhorst Pack grids. Grids generated with the “M” setting in the third line, in fact do not have full hexagonal symmerty.
而过Gamma点的偶数网格则不可约k数目一般多于奇数的。 |
