PROCAR file issues with HCP lattice structures.
Hi,
I am relatively new to vasp. I have been trying to measure the splitting of various elements with an initial magnetic moment, MAGMOM. For most elements, it has been working no problem but for HCP lattice structures I cannot retrieve a PROCAR file. I have multiplied the value of MAGMOM by two, 2*0.2, as there is 2 atoms in the cell. This has not helped. Are there other parameters that need to be multiplied? Am I missing something else? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What do you mean with "I cannot retrieve a PROCAR file"? Could you please provide more details about your problem and be more specific about what you expect in the PROCAR file?

Re: PROCAR file issues with HCP lattice structures.
Hi, I want to use vaspkit to find TDOS, which I can't do without a procar file. I am using POSCAR, POTCAR, INCAR, KPOINTS and jsub.sh to make CHGCAR file, the preforming another calculation using all 6 of those files in order to get TDOS. As I said it's working fine for all elements except when they are a HCP structure. This is an example of the structure.

Re: PROCAR file issues with HCP lattice structures.
Could you please also show the INCAR that you are using?

I should have attached screen shots. Thankyou for your replies.

Re: PROCAR file issues with HCP lattice structures.
Please, upload just the INCAR file and not a screenshot.

I have attached it as a .png and .zip. I hope that will work. Thanks again.

Re: PROCAR file issues with HCP lattice structures.
Hi,
If I understand correctly, there is no PROCAR generated for HCP lattices, right? I have tried myself for the Zn system and PROCAR was generated. So, to help you I need to know a few more things:
-Do your calculations (with LORBIT=11 in INCAR) for HCP lattice finish without error message?
-Are you using vasp_std or vasp_ncl?
-Which version of VASP are you using?
-The zip file that you uploaded seems to be corrupted. Please, upload again an INCAR file (not compressed and no screenshot).
