Relax first layer of atoms only

#1 Post by suchi » Wed Jan 24, 2007 11:43 am

Hi,

In surface calculations, how & where do I set my parameters so as to relax only the first layer of atoms, keeping the layers below frozen?

Thanks for any help on this!

Selective Dynamics in POSCAR. See the manual.
